New hire — first-day setup checklist

By CreativeTechs · updated Jul 9, 2026 · 5 min read

The end-to-end list we run for a new employee: account, MFA, device enrollment, and app access. Most of this is automated through Gather now; this article is the human-readable version for the client.

  1. Account created and licensed in Microsoft 365.
  2. MFA registered on the employee's phone.
  3. Mac enrolled in management (Addigy) and named to standard.
  4. Core apps pushed: browser, Office, and role apps.
  5. Shared drives and distribution lists granted.
