Five-Step Onboarding Plan Timeline Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Download and customize this five-step onboarding plan timeline to guide new hires from their first day through the first year. The slide presents five vertical panels—First Day, First Week, First Month, First Quarter, and First Year—each topped with a circular icon placeholder and a colored header band. Use the editable text blocks to outline key activities, milestones, and performance goals at each stage. The clean white background, minimalist typography, and pastel accent colors ensure legibility, while shape-snapping and master-slide functionality accelerate editing. Whether you need to swap icons, adjust date labels, or reassign color accents, the intuitive layout preserves alignment and design integrity across PowerPoint and Google Slides.

Who is it for
