Hello [New Hire / NH]
We are so excited to have you join the [Company] team!
We use G-Suite (Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Docs, etc.) here. On your first day, you will be given a temporary password to your work Gmail. Upon logging in, you'll be prompted to create a new password - please try and make it secure! Suggested mix of uppercase, lowercase, symbols, letters, and numbers. With your Gmail account setup, you will be able to access other Google services, as well as the other software and apps we use here!
[Microsoft Alt] We use Microsoft Office 365 (E-mail, Calendar, Office 365, One Drive, etc.) here. On your first day, you will be given a temporary password to your work email. Upon logging in, you'll be prompted to create a new password - please try and make it secure! Suggested mix of uppercase, lowercase, symbols, letters, and numbers. With your Officer 365 account setup, you will be able to access other Microsoft services, as well as the other software and apps we use here!
Please arrive to our office at [Company Address] in the window of [preferred start time am/pm] and [Welcomer] will be there to welcome you.
[BYOD Optional] As a reminder, we are a BYOD (bring-your-own-device) environment, therefore please bring a functional laptop, charger, and cellphone with you. We will go over the expectations for tech & devices in further detail together!
On that note, can you share some details below:
- What type of computer will you be using and what OS does it run?
- What kind of phone do you have?
- Would you like an external monitor, and if so what type of ports do you have on your machine?
- Would you like a keyboard and/or mouse? If so, can you confirm you can connect them via USB Type-A (the regular one) or do you need an extender?
[Kitchen Optional] We have a full kitchen (minus oven / stove) so you're more than welcome to bring your own lunch which you could freeze, or refrigerate and then microwave if necessary. There are numerous great restaurants and lunch spots in the area that many of our employees take advantage of, at your discretion!
During your first day, I'll be sending over a number of emails to your [Company] account with a few different links and information. These will include invites to tools we use, our Onboarding package, an instructional email from myself, and many, many, many calendar invites to help get you set up and active with what's going on!
A few [EXAMPLE] questions we like to ask new team members as a ‘get-to-know-you’ that we’ll share with the team:
- Where are you from?
- Cats, dogs, neither, or other?
- If money weren’t an object, what would you do with your time?
- Top 3 passions, go!
- If you could have a meal with anyone in the world (dead or alive), who would it be and what meal would you share?
Aside from that, I believe you should be all set. If you have any questions or concerns at all, please do not hesitate to reach out. We're super excited to have you starting.
Thanks [New Hire]!
