A new starter deck, narrated

Welcome to Harbor and Pine. Here is your first week, slide by slide, from your first day to the checklist for getting started.

We make outdoor furniture from reclaimed wood. There are three workshops across the business, with one hundred and forty people and twelve years of building behind us. That is a little introduction to who we are.

Your first day has three scheduled stops. At nine, collect your badge and laptop at reception. At ten, meet your buddy for a coffee and a tour. Then, at two in the afternoon, you have a safety walk through the workshop.

Here are the three tools you will use. Team chat is for quick questions, any time. The task board is where you find what you are working on. And the team wiki is for how we do things at Harbor and Pine.

Safety comes first. In the workshop, always wear ear defenders. If there is a near miss, report it the same day. And remember the green lanyard: that is what first aiders wear, so you can recognise who they are.

To wrap up, your first week checklist has three things: finish the security course, shadow a build from start to finish, and book your first one-to-one. Those are the three items to keep in mind as you get started.
