60-day check-in questions for your new hires

Are you conducting 60-day check-ins with your new hires? They’re a great opportunity to ensure your new team members are making a good start in your organisation and leverage feedback to improve your processes. Here’s a list of 60-day check-in questions for your new hires, to guide you in your conversations. 

It’s exciting to welcome a great new hire into your organisation to benefit from their skills and experience, and add to your existing teams and culture. You may have already conducted a 30-day check-in. The 60-day mark is another good opportunity to assess their progress and ensure they’re feeling challenged and engaged. 

By understanding if your new team members are meeting their targets and feeling fulfilled in their role, you can provide them with the support and attention they need and deserve, and avoid the negative consequences of needing to rehire. In addition to assessing their performance, take the time to understand and measure their happiness at work and within your culture. You can also use their feedback to improve your employer branding strategies and your onboarding and training process for future hires.
