Dispensary: Customer Coordinator Onboarding DIY Guide

Purpose

The Customer Coordinator Onboarding is everything you need to onboard a new customer coordinator and to provide them with an overview of their position.  When used for applications, this is best used in the hiring and training plan, either in its entirety, or pieces of it.

Use Cases

Operators can use this as a working operational document which gets updated periodically as policies and procedures change.

License applicants can use this plan in its entirety in applications when the application requires a section or exhibit solely addressing staffing and training.  

Keywords

Search for each of these terms in the regulations. You're looking for pieces of each regulation that pertain to staffing, training and onboarding. Refer to the General Sheet Editing DIY Guide for guidance on what to do with these key words.
