Announcement: We have a New Employee!

Having a new employee announcement process is very important. Especially when a non-family member is joining the family business.

Sending a new employee announcement email to introduce the new employee to their new coworkers is best practice for any business. For a family-owned business it is especially important when the new employee is not a family member. This will provide an opportunity for you to tell the current employees about the new employee and to share their skills and experience. It also allows you to shape your employees’ understanding of what the new employee brings to the team. You can share the new employee’s background, work experience, education, and skills. A formal introduction builds positive expectations from the new coworkers. The information gives the new employees credibility as they walk in the door. Processes like this demonstrate the importance of laying a foundation for a team culture allowing you to shape your employees' perceptions and expectations that the new employee deserves their support from the beginning.

It is a good idea to create a fun and visually exciting template, so you don't have to recreate the wheel at each new hire.
