Kinder Landing 2.0: To do/read in your first week

Be there or be square

• At 10:00 AM on your first day

For all your other working days at Kinder, it’s (mostly) up to you! Some people like to come in at 7:30 and leave at 16:00, others rather start at 11:00 and stay at the office until 19:00. It’s all up to you as long as you’re transparent about it and check-in with your teammates first.

What to bring

• Laptop
• Lunch (you can also go out to buy something)
• Headspace for a ton of information

Set up your accounts

• Slack
• Trello
• Toggl
• Create
• Kinder Web
• Google Calendar

Introduce yourself

• In the #general Slack channel

The idea is that your new colleagues get a glimpse of who you are, what you like/dislike, why you’re joining Kinder & what you’re going to do here.

• Provide some text for the website, we'll make a custom photo later on.

You can find examples here
