Work with your leader to create an outline for a 30-60-90 day plan. This plan will cover the most important things you intend to accomplish by each date (30, 60, and 90 days out). It will also describe how you intend to accomplish each task or goal that isn't self-explanatory.
This will be a collaborative effort between you and your leader. You will first meet to discuss what tasks to include in your plan. Then, after drafting your plan, you will meet again to gain feedback. After you implement your leader's feedback and finalize your plan, you will meet once more to review and gain sign-off.
As you start preparing your plan, it might be helpful to consider:
- Your role and how it fits within the team.
- Your key tasks and interactions.
- What you've learned about Walmart culture and our operating model.
Below is a list of tasks you should complete in the first 90 days to include in your plan. Include job-specific goals as well, and when you meet with your leader you will get more feedback on what those may look like.
