    Yes. I was denied a work cell phone due to cost and refused to put work email on it. Hasn’t hurt me a bit. However, anyone out there interviewing make sure you ask if a laptop and/or work cell will be provided before you accept the job.

    I have been at this role for close to 4 months and still waiting for access on everything. Gotta love government!

    I think it depends. It depends on whether the employee views the tool/tools as necessary or just nice to have. Many new employees are savvy and very resourceful and don't always view traditional tools as necessary to perform their jobs.

    It's access to Smartsheet.

    At the first opportunity that they get!

    Seriously...onboarding is almost never done right, but to leave someone without the tools to do their job is setting them up for failure and a bad new employee experience. The only time I would give it a pass is when that new hire is an individual being hired to overhaul the onboarding program.

    I had two new people start in a location different than me beginning of January. I was there day one for their orientation and had onboarding plans from the individuals that will be directing their work. I did my part and get them set up with laptops, etc. I did the basics. And then we failed them. The hiring managers seriously dropped the ball (not so much the one, but the other for sure) and it's been a shit show ever since.

    I think it depends on what “tools” you’re missing. The team I led were given laptops during onboarding but software was installed later as they were trained on it. (They were given access to basics like reporting system, email, etc but the software they were supporting wasn’t made available until training.)

    as long as there is a plan to get the tools/resources you need and you are able to do your job without them in the interim, it’s all good!
