Welcome New Employee email template

Why does it matter?

Making a new employee feel welcome is a crucial part of maintaining a healthy work environment. It will demonstrate that the organization is excited to welcome the new employee to the team, making the individual feel secure about their decision in accepting this position and motivated to work and learn.

When to send?

A welcome email to a new employee should be written and sent as soon as possible. We have prepared 2 email templates that can be sent a few days before work and on their first day at work. You can send this email in a form of an announcement to everyone in the team so that it informs coworkers about the new employee's position inside the company and the coworkers can contribute in welcoming the new employee to make a good first impression.

What to include?

Be sure to include the following information below in your welcome email:

• Employee name, position, and start date
• Dress code
• Who will be the employee's manager/mentor
