The way that someone starts within your organisation can set the tone for their entire career with you.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put yourself in their shoes. If you are welcomed into a team to start a new position, having been given all of the information and tools you need, with a set training schedule and a friendly introduction to your new coworkers, you\u2019re going to feel confident. You can hit the ground running with genuine excitement.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what if your first day at a new business is messy and badly organised?

Onboard employees before their first day<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A first day at work spent filling out paperwork and waiting to get logged into a computer can be tedious and uninspiring. It can also make your business look disorganised.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sooner your new hire fills out all the necessary HR and payroll forms, the better.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">91爆料 offers a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/onboarding-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paperless onboarding solution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that makes this process quick and efficient. In fact, it can all be done days or even weeks before the new employee starts \u2013 making it one less thing they need to worry about on day one.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/hr-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HRIS platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help with more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/communication-in-the-workplace\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effective communication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> between new employees and existing staff. You can also easily create announcements, display your company culture, create a welcome message, and introduce new hires to the rest of the whole team.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"tip-2-start-on-a-wednesday-at-10am\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #2. Start on a Wednesday at 10am<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After much experimentation we\u2019ve found here at 91爆料 that Wednesday at 10am is an optimal start day and time. A shorter working week means new employees won\u2019t be overloaded with information and have the weekend to digest all they\u2019ve learned.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A midweek start is also easier on the team. Mondays and Tuesdays are usually busy and existing team members aren\u2019t able to give as much time as they\u2019d like to their new coworker.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"tip-3-notify-the-entire-team-about-the-arrival-of-the-new-team-member\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #3. Notify the entire team about the arrival of the new team member<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communicate the details of a new starter\u2019s arrival with the entire team a few days beforehand, so that their team members can prepare a few words for their introduction.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also get your new team member to fill up a short \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new starter bio<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018 to introduce themselves to the team and get the conversation flowing.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will help avoid those situations where everyone\u2019s too busy to offer anything more than a quick \u2018hello\u2019 to a new starter \u2013 because that\u2019s the kind of thing that can make a new workplace seem less than welcoming.<\/span>\n<h2 id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"handshake with friendly smiles in the office\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Introducing-colleagues-on-the-first-day-at-work-1024x673.jpeg\" style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"tip-4-check-that-their-workspace-is-ready-for-their-first-day-at-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #4. Check that their workspace is ready for their first day at work<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a new employee\u2019s equipment set up makes a huge difference. Ensure that when they start their computer is ready to go and relevant log-in information is clearly communicated.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step is to get creative and make a new starter\u2019s desk look and feel welcoming! You could pin up a welcome sign, or leave them a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/welcome-pack-ideas-new-employees\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gift basket<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> filled with snacks and company merch.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve hired someone remotely, make sure that their equipment is delivered a few days prior to their start date. Giving them their working tools in advance will help team members feel prepared for their first day, instead of having them anxiously waiting for the postman.<\/span>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo of a new employees desk at 91爆料\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Preparing-the-workspace-for-someones-first-day-1-875x1024.jpg\" width=\"875\"\/>\n<h3 id=\"tip-5-assign-them-a-mentor-to-help-them-out-on-their-first-day\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #5. Assign them a mentor to help them out on their first day<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s something that the better HR departments have been doing for a while \u2013 assigning mentors to new team members, and creating HR \u2018mentoring\u2019 packs full of essential advice.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good mentor will be someone the new hire can trust to show them the ropes and answer their questions. It could be someone doing a similar job in the same team, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. There are lots of advantages in having a mentor from another part of the business that can offer your new employee a different perspective.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opportunity of becoming a mentor could also be seen as a mutually beneficial relationship for employees interested in management.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"tip-6-prepare-an-induction-checklist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #6. Prepare an induction checklist<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective inductions give an overview of the company culture and values, the different teams and how they work plus information about goals and responsibilities. It\u2019s an essential part of employee onboarding.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An induction helps a new starter feel more involved with a company and quickly gets them on board with your mission and the big goals you are trying to achieve. This knowledge keeps the whole company, including new talent, aligned.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An induction should contain all the information the new person needs to be aware of, and the people they need to be introduced to in order to do their job effectively. An example of this checklist can be found in our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/employee-induction-onboarding-checklist-template\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employee onboarding template<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go through this onboarding checklist with your new starter on their first day, so that they understand their induction plan and why it\u2019s needed.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"tip-7-dont-let-a-new-employee-eat-lunch-alone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #7. Don\u2019t let a new employee eat lunch alone<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organise a team lunch on a new employee\u2019s first day! This seems like a no-brainer but you\u2019d be surprised by how many companies do not do this. If a group lunch isn\u2019t possible try to make sure at least one other team member can dine with the new employee.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re working remotely, a lunch meeting with the person\u2019s entire department is a great alternative. Don\u2019t forget to make sure lunch is provided with something like a meal delivery voucher.<\/span>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-write-a-welcome-message-for-new-team-members\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to write a welcome message for new team members<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re working remotely or in the office, delivering a welcome message to your new team member on or before their first day is a great way to set the tone.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may choose to send this message as a hand-written note, but a welcome email is probably a little easier to pull off! Customise your welcome messages for new employees to reflect their new role and your company\u2019s values.<\/span>\n<h2 id=\"16-welcome-message-examples\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16 welcome message examples<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make it easy for you, we\u2019ve come up with a selection of examples.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"general-employee-welcome-messages\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General employee welcome messages<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"-1\"><\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"1-the-warm-welcome\"><b>1.

While first impressions are crucial, a welcome greeting doesn&#8217;t have to be overly formal. Instead, think of it as an opportunity to set the tone for your company&#8217;s culture.\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your workplace thrives on collaboration and approachability, a warm, friendly greeting might resonate better than a formal one. That said, clarity and professionalism should still shine through.
