   Here is the format I use when creating 30/60/90 day plans for my clients; feel free to customize to your specific situation, but this should give you a general outline. I create these as PowerPoints.

   30 - Learn

   Meet with partners, peers, internal stakeholders to learn the business and HR systems. The goal will be to accelerate my learning process to make an effective and expedient contribution. To have a seamless transition in the HR Role, from existing HR Manager to incumbent HR Manager, is to plan, stay on course while remaining agile!

   60 - Assess

   Analyze the existing key processes to understand the performance of core, short- and long-term initiatives by HR for operations. Identify opportunities for short-term and long-term improvement, based on feedback from HR Director.

   90 - Optimize

   Identify opportunities for improvement, potential process or program improvements. Use existing or begin building HR Scorecards to measure strategic alignment with business operations.

   #6: Details of 60-day, with specific bullet points

   #7: Details of 90-day, with specific bullet points

   #8 – Measurements of success at 30,60,90, such as:

   30 Days - Learn

   Begin relationship-building w/HR Dir., HR Staff, Executive, Line, & Union Leadership

   Learn HRIS systems, Employee Handbook and Union Contract

   Knowledge transfer, pending ER issues & actions

   Benefits and Payroll learning

   Understanding of ongoing HR projects, KP/Metric & Financial Analytic Knowledge

   Talent Acquisition Process Review

   Training and Development Process Review

   What a great idea to create a 30-60-90 day plan!! The top piece here, since you are starting a new job, is being flexible with this plan. Treating your plan as a living document that will be updated many times and that does NOT mean you are not achieving goals or metrics. Just finding the flow of things.

   I would work on a draft of this plan and review with your team/supervisor/boss. It shows initiative and also will be helpful to get his/her thoughts on what to add/take away.

   I would have a learning aspect to it since you are new, what tools and processes do you want to dive into in 30-60-90 days.

   What metrics are most important and can you set a goal and then a "reach" goal that might seem unrealistic but keeps you ambitious?

   What other parts of your role are measurable? Anything that can be tracked can be added to the plan.

   Lastly, development--are there skills/strengths you want to grow and improve on, that will make a great impact in this job?

   Great idea and good luck!

   I found Michael Watkins’ book, The First Ninety Days, to be helpful whenever I’ve started a new job.
