Email to welcome a new employee

Any person joining a new organization is usually filled with anxiety and apprehension about whether or not they will be accepted well by their new co-workers. A welcome email from an HR professional that’s addressed to the whole team can help to relax the fresh recruit and impart a sense of new belonging. This becomes an important part of an effective orientation process.

Some key things to be included in your welcome emails are:
● Mention the correct name of the employee and the team/department that he/she will be joining.
● Provide a brief about his/her past education and experience.
● State one or more of their major past accomplishments.
● Put down the date and time they will be starting at the organization.
● Write something to indicate the organization’s excitement on their joining.
● Finally, with the individual luck and express hope for a great association.
