How to announce a new hire + template | Qatalog

Incoming — new team member alert! First impressions are exciting, so let’s make sure you announce your new hire in a way that puts their best foot forward.

How do you announce a new team member?

The best new employee announcements share details about the new hire, like where they’re located, what their hobbies after work are, or two truths and a lie (which is what we do at Qatalog). Tip: It’s hard to be the only one opening up to the team. The team’s information and fun facts should be available for the new hire to see while crafting their own fun facts or two truths and a lie. This way, they can get to know a little bit more about the team they are being introduced to.

What should be included in a new employee announcement?

Wherever your company’s updates & announcements happen: this should be where you prioritize your new hire announcement. Including new hire intros in company or team meetings is also important to putting a face to a name. There’s no wrong answer to the best way to announce your new team members — just make sure your update reaches everyone. 

Email? Slack? Intranet? Internal comms software? What’s the best way to announce new team members?
