How to build a new hire training plan for the first 30 days, week by week. Includes why the 70-20-10 rule is the wrong model for new hires, with sources.
Every other answer to this question is a range. We opened 20 vendor pricing pages on the same day and wrote down what they actually charge, including the seat floors and the implementation fees nobody quotes.
A complete new hire onboarding checklist in four stages. Every item names its owner. No email gate, no download, no tool to sign up for. Copy it from the page.

Three employee training plan templates, filled in with real examples, plus the two columns every other template leaves out. On the page, no download, no tool.
A practical sequence for training a new hire, the five-step method for teaching one task, and the four failure modes that make most new-hire training fail.
