Dear Brenda:

I'd like to welcome you to ACME Retailers. We are excited that you have accepted our job offer and agreed upon your start date. I trust that this letter finds you mutually excited about your new employment with (Name of Company).

As mentioned during the interviews, while your new position reports to me, I'd like to welcome you to the (Name of Department) on behalf of all of the staff. Each of us will play a role to ensure your successful integration into the department.

We're expecting you for new employee orientation on September 15, 2023, Tuesday at 9 a.m. You will meet with me to discuss your successful integration into our company and with Human Resources staff to learn about employment related issues. You'll also meet with several coworkers so you can get a feel for the overall work of the department. 

Our dress code is casual.

Your new team anticipates taking you out to lunch to get to know you and to make sure that you meet everyone with whom you will be working. Your meeting agenda, for the rest of your first day, will involve planning your orientation with me and setting some initial work goals so that you feel immediately productive in your new role.

I anticipate that your second day will involve more coworker meetings to understand the department. You'll also have the opportunity to continue with your new employee orientation plan and your initial work for the department.

Again, welcome to the team. If you have questions prior to your start date, please call me at any time, or send me an email, if that is more convenient. We look forward to having you come on hoard.

Regards,

Karly Lee
Manager

Subject Line: Welcome from all of us

Dear [employee name],

A giant welcome from your new team at (company name]!

As you'll see from the big list of CCs, we all wanted to be a part of welcoming you into the family. We cannot wait to start working with you officially on your first day, [date].

I have to say you are at a slight disadvantage. We all know a lot about you, including your [personal facts about the new hire]. However, you have yet to learn anything about us!

We've decided to fix that immediately. We made a cheat sheet [link to document with team info] to help you learn a little bit about everyone. Now, we're not saying you HAVE to read it, but we will tell you we're going to kick off your first day with a few rounds of icebreaker quizzes from Quizbreaker.
We promise it will be fun; you'll learn a little bit about us and we'll learn a little bit about you.

We're all looking forward to it! We've invited you to join our [team channel/thread on communication hub].

We're happy to have you jump into the conversation whenever you're ready.
Once again, welcome! We can't wait to get to know you.
