How to Announce a New Employee

  • An announcement email introducing a new employee paves the way for a smoother onboarding experience for the new hire and minimizes unpleasant surprises for existing team members.
  • You should email the announcement to your team several days before the new person’s start date.
  • Some key details to include in a new-employee introduction email are: the reason for the new hire, the individual’s starting date and qualifications, and tidbits such as their personal interests and hobbies.
  • This article is for small business owners who want to know how best to announce new hires to their company.

Just as it’s important to let your staff know when an employee leaves your business, it’s similarly essential to inform them when you’re bringing a new hire on board. It’s best to do this by email and leave plenty of time for your team to get ready for the new arrival.

How and when to announce a new employee

The most efficient and effective way to announce you’ve hired a new employee is by email. This makes it easier to ensure everyone receives the message. If you do it in person, people who aren’t in the office that day might not get the news.
