🗂️ Draft: Department Report – Onboarding

From: Office of Onboarding
To: Director of Self Love
Subject: Month One Orientation Summary
Date: 6 August 2025
Classification: Level 1 – Welcome Protocols

Dear Director,

Thank you for this opportunity to reflect on Month One of operations. As the department responsible for early integration, new systems, and emotional hand-holding, we’re proud to report that things are… happening!

📝 Onboarding Activities:

• Created 2 introductory blog posts outlining mission and early intentions
• Defined emerging department structures and personalities
• Facilitated early alignment with Emotional Wellbeing, Self Discovery, and Productivity & Purpose

We’ve also created the following shared resources:

• “Welcome to the Department” Checklist (still in draft)
• Glossary of Internal Jargon (ongoing project)
• Where Is That Thing Again? – navigation guide for new emotional terrain

💡 Highlights:

• Managed Day One confusion with grace and hydration
• Implemented “no pressure, low shame” learning model
• Supported the Director through several aha-but-also-overwhelming moments

🌀 Challenges:

• Keeping up with the pace of creative excitement (Director, slow down please)
• Difficulty enforcing boundaries between “preparation” and “performance”
• Emotional fatigue from trying to know everything immediately

🌱 Recommendations:

• Continue casual onboarding through storytelling and character development
• Consider a recurring “New Here” series for internal readers and future visitors
• Host a virtual welcome tea for any new departments that may emerge

---

We’re still learning, still adjusting, and still excited. We believe orientation is ongoing—and that’s a good thing.

Warmly,
Office of Onboarding
