How Do You Creatively Welcome a New Joiner to Your Organization?

Hi Folks,

Can you help me out with some creative ideas on welcoming a new joiner in an organization?

Thanks & regards,
A J

Hi Arun,

I am working on something similar and would like to share the ideas I have. What will help you is thinking from the perspective of a new joinee and what kind of gestures will be valued by him/her.

The first and foremost thing is there should be someone from the HR department to attend them at the reception on the day of joining and personally escort them. This gesture speaks volumes......

Moving ahead we can categorize new joinees based on (entry levels/middle management/top management like Directors, GMs, etc.) and customize the welcome accordingly.

For instance, an entry-level new joinee is excited and at the same time nervous as he/she is unaware of the whereabouts....so to make them feel more confident and comfortable, you can share a visual tour of the company highlighting areas like the canteen, cafe, stationary joint, ATM, medical aid, etc.

Also, I have seen that most of the new joinees are eager to understand their salary structure, so that can be explained to them as well.

The joinees at the middle and top-level management are more interested in knowing about the business and who's who of the company....so that can be shared, and of course, they should be attended by some senior HR official with a more defined schedule.

Let me know if this was of any help.

Thanks,

Hi Arun,

You can welcome the employee by giving them a welcome letter, then gradually showing them the corporate AV on the products, key people, and the key places. Also, in our organization, we arrange lunch for the new joiner.

I hope this helps.

The reply from Neha is implicit. Some organizations will provide a kit for them, and they will be initiating a training calendar for internal departments and internal customer departments, which will really benefit the employees.
