Module 4
Offers, onboarding and the first ninety days: starting people well
The first three months decide more than many managers realise. A new person who is welcomed, given clear goals, supervised and given early feedback learns faster, gets things right sooner and decides to stay. One who is left to find their own way, with unclear expectations, a missing laptop and a supervisor too busy to speak to them, begins to doubt their choice in week two. In a law firm, the stakes include more than morale: a new lawyer or paralegal who is not properly supervised can make errors that harm clients and put the firm in breach of its regulator’s rules. This module covers the offer and contract, fair pay, preparing for day one, a ninety-day onboarding plan, the duties of supervision and how to use probation honestly.
