My first thought was "Agenda." It describes what's going to happen.

Subject: [External] Re: Looking for an onboarding term
Hi, everyone. I appreciate all the suggestions. However, I'm not keen on any of them...sorry.
First, this isn't a "New Employee" thing as they could be coming from a different department...some of the items are specific to IT and some even a subset of that, specific to NOC.
Second, terms like 'Administrivia are too "fancy"..to some people , English is a stretch
I have the section being called "Onboarding". Now I need the name for the individual items that comprise of the total concept of onboarding. Sorry, I know that I'm being pedantic.
Thanks
