It’s a two-way street when it comes to hiring a new employee. It’s just as crucial for the new employee to like working for you as it is for you to enjoy working for them. The onboarding process will be a critical aspect of your new employee’s initial impression of your organization.

The employment announcement may include information on the new employee to coworkers, but it can also be as basic as notifying the new employee’s start date. You might also mention the employee’s new workplace and recommend that coworkers swing by to welcome him or her.

A few details about the new employee will provide the opening and chance for the new employee’s new coworkers to initiate conversations with the new employee about mutual interests.
