Role-specific training sessions
Live 90-minute training workshops tailored for writers, editors, and coordinators — each focused on the exact tools and pipeline stages that role owns, with worked examples drawn from your actual content.
Team Onboarding
A new system only works if your team actually uses it
Our team onboarding service equips every writer, editor, and coordinator with the skills, playbooks, and confidence to run your content factory from day one.
New systems fail at the human layer — not the tool layer
You can design the most logical pipeline in the world, but if your team doesn't understand why each step exists or how to use the tools it runs on, you're back to ad hoc production within a month. Stonezpanda's onboarding service is built to close that gap. We deliver role-specific training — separate sessions for writers, editors, and content coordinators — so each person learns exactly what they need to do their job within the system, without sitting through irrelevant material. Training is delivered live via video call, recorded for your internal library, and backed by written playbooks that cover every scenario your team is likely to encounter in the first 90 days.
What team onboarding includes
Contributor playbook
A written playbook covering brief interpretation, tone and style standards, submission formats, and revision etiquette — formatted to live in your team's shared drive and updated by us once after the first month.
Recorded session library
Every live training session is recorded in HD and delivered as an unlisted video link within 48 hours — giving new hires a structured induction resource without scheduling a repeat call.
30-day check-in
One month after onboarding is complete, we run a 60-minute group call to surface any friction points, clarify questions that only appear in real usage, and refine any SOP that isn't holding up in practice.
What to expect and what's outside scope
Team onboarding is most effective when the pipeline and editorial strategy are already defined — you're teaching your team to operate a system that exists, not one still being designed. We onboard teams of up to twelve people per engagement; larger teams or multi-department rollouts are quoted separately. Ongoing monthly coaching, performance reviews, or individual content feedback fall outside this service — those belong in a content operations retainer. Results depend partly on your team's capacity to practise the system in the first two weeks after training; we strongly recommend clearing the production calendar during that window.
Give your team the tools to run the system, not just use it
Let's build an onboarding programme tailored to your team's exact roles and tools.
