New hires start trained,
not confused.
FirstDay gets your new hire oriented and trained before Day 1 — company introduction, policies, and role-specific training, done on their phone before their first shift.
Day 1 Readiness
3 of 4 new hires ready
for Day 1 — before their first shift
How It Works
From hire to ready-to-work, before Day 1.
You hire someone
Add their name, email, and role. Takes 15 seconds.
They get access immediately
A portal invite goes out the same day — before any paperwork.
They complete orientation
Company intro, policies, and training assigned to their exact role — all on their phone.
They arrive Day 1 ready
Trained and oriented, not sitting through onboarding during their first shift.
The Problem
Hiring is expensive. Losing them in the first 90 days is worse.
Whether you run a senior living community, a restaurant chain, a dental practice, or a hotel — the math is the same. Unprepared new hires quit fast and cost you thousands.
$4,700
average cost to replace one hourly employee
Recruiting, onboarding, training time, lost productivity, and overtime coverage add up across every industry from healthcare to hospitality.
60%+
of new hires who quit do so in the first 90 days
Most leave because they felt unprepared, disconnected, or unsure if they made the right choice. That is preventable.
4.2x
higher completion rate when training is built for the actual job
Generic training fails because it does not connect to the specific work. When the content reflects the real workplace employees pay attention.
How Facilities Set It Up
Bring the training you already have, or build new.
Upload your existing handbook, policies, and training videos — or generate new training grounded in your actual policies using our built-in video creator. Either way, it becomes part of your new hire's training before Day 1.
Upload what you have
Bring your existing handbook, policies, and training videos — PDFs, docs, and MP4s. They become part of your new hire's pre-Day-1 training as-is.
Create new training
Generate role-specific training videos grounded in your actual policies using our built-in creator — for any role you don't already have training for.
Whichever you choose, your new hire completes it on their phone before Day 1.

Eight examples of what teams are creating in FirstDay — but you can build a compliant training video for any role in any industry.
New Hire Orientation
Welcome new team members with a personalized intro to your business, culture, and expectations.
Safety and Compliance
OSHA, HIPAA, food safety, or industry-specific compliance — built for your state and role.
Customer Service Standards
How your team handles guests, residents, patients, or customers — your way not generic.
Equipment and Systems Training
POS systems, software tools, equipment operation, or specialty technology your team uses.
Role-Specific Procedures
From caregiver protocols to kitchen workflows to retail procedures — every role gets its own track.
Brand and Culture
Your values, your story, your standards. Train new hires on what makes your business different.
Emergency Procedures
Fire safety, medical emergencies, security protocols — specific to your facility and team.
Manager and Leadership
Develop supervisors with training that reflects how leadership actually works at your business.
And anything else your team needs — FirstDay creates custom videos for any role, in any industry.
The Complete Workforce Readiness Platform
More than training. A full system for getting new hires ready.
Creating compliant training videos is just the start. FirstDay is a complete workforce readiness platform that prepares new hires before Day 1, supports them through their first 30 days, and gives you the documentation you need for compliance audits.
Pre-Day-1 Onboarding Portal
New hires get access to their personal portal the moment they accept your offer. They complete paperwork, review documents, watch training videos, and meet the team before they ever walk in the door.
First Week Journey Automation
Automated touchpoints at Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, and Day 30 keep new hires engaged. Supervisors get prompts at the right moments. Pulse check-ins catch problems before they become resignations.
Compliance Documentation
Every completed module, every acknowledgment, every supervisor sign-off is timestamped and stored. Pull a complete compliance report for any employee in seconds when state surveyors arrive.
Competency Tracking and Floor Readiness
Track not just whether training was completed but whether the employee actually got it. Quiz patterns reveal struggle areas. Supervisor observations validate competency. Floor readiness clearance shows who is truly ready to work.
