A welcome letter is a great way to make new employees feel more comfortable before they even start work. These simple letters serve to welcome your new employee to your organization and give them any relevant information for a smooth start. They are generally emailed to the new employee by the employee’s manager. Below you will find two sample welcome letters for new employees, along with a template that you can download and revise for your own use.
Components of the Welcome Letter
Welcome letters can range from extremely simple, like these sample letters, to complex. Complex welcome letters often contain the new employee orientation schedule and the names and job titles of employees that the new employee will meet in the first few days. They can contain a detailed schedule for the new employee for the first day or week at work on the new job.
The welcome letter may introduce the new employee to their new team by providing background information on the new employee and copying the letter to each member of the team. Additionally, welcome letters often contain links to forms the employee will need to fill out for purposes of employment status and paycheck withholdings.
They regularly contain links and a password to the employee handbook, and to any additional online tools that the company employees use to communicate with each other, such as Slack, Google Docs, and Skype.
Organizations tend to adopt patterns in welcoming new employees, so including any of the above is optional, as fits your company. Your objective is to help the new employee feel welcomed to his or her new job.
