Welcome To Your Institute Name

Wondering how to welcome a new employee to the team? Start by putting yourself in their shoes. Taking a new role in an unfamiliar work environment is a lot like being the new kid at school — they tell you where your locker is and which classes you’re taking, but what you really want to know is how you’re supposed to act and what the social norms are.

It sounds silly at first, comparing your new hires to seventh graders, but think about it: Don’t you feel better when you know what’s expected of you? That’s what makes good onboarding, and good onboarding matters. In fact, 69% of employees are more inclined to stay with a company for at least three years if they had a great onboarding experience.

A new employee introduction email, Slack message, or note can go a long way in making a solid first impression when it comes to company culture, connecting the new person to the team, and setting the stage for success.
