Onboarding your Team: Welcome to Dara!
|| For Admins
Hello, we’re thrilled to have your organization join us on Dara, where Communities Create Social Capital. You’ll be keeping great company among our incredible Network of Partners, which you can view here.
This article is intended to explain how we’ll be going about Onboarding your core team, over the five days you blocked in our Partner Team Onboarding Meeting. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of what we’ll be doing:
HIGHLIGHTS
Each of these steps are meant to be no more than 10 mins long.
#1- Go over your organization's Page on Dara. Set up your Member Community & its Norms. Set up discussion Channels for your team.
#2 - Look into Events, ensure that your organizations handles are a-okay and plan a special activity for your Affiliates when they come aboard.
#3 - Explore why Dara is right for you and set a date to bring in your first community members.
#4 - Host a deep-dive event on using Dara with your core team to help move communications to Dara. Channels replace multiple working groups on other apps.
#5 - We’ll go over a Checklist to ensure that you are ready to receive your Affiliates.
After every day, we’ll be sending you this Partner and Community Onboarding Form, to treat as a checklist of all the details we’ve collected for your Partner Page and Community.
