Sending a welcome aboard email is an important step in the onboarding process.
It establishes the tone for the new hire's interaction with the business and makes them feel appreciated and welcomed.
It is also an opportunity to provide important information and resources to the new employee.
You should send this email as soon as possible after the new employee has accepted the job offer and before their first day of work.
When sending a welcome aboard email, it is important to provide a warm and friendly introduction and important information about the company, the employee's role, and any onboarding procedures.
Some key things to include in the email are:
