New Employee Announcement Template

This new employee announcement template is a flexible communication tool designed to make onboarding feel warm, personal, and low-effort for busy teams. Whether you’re in HR, a manager introducing a new hire, or a new teammate crafting your own intro, this toolkit offers three customizable message templates that are friendly, clear, and people-first.

The resource includes tailored versions for HR teams, managers, and new employees themselves — each written in a conversational tone that works for Slack, email, or internal newsletters. You’ll also find a few example messages to use as inspiration, making it easy to hit the right note whether you’re welcoming a designer, recruiter, or engineer.

Key features include:

• Three announcement formats: Prewritten messages for HR, hiring managers, and new hires
• Conversational tone: Friendly and approachable language to help build connection
• Customizable sections: Swap in key details like role, hobbies, background, and fun facts
• Works across channels: Designed for Slack, email, or intranet posts
• Example messages included: Realistic intros show how to tailor each version
• Culture-building touch: Encourages things like 1:1 coffee chats and Slack GIFs

Use this template to make new teammates feel seen and supported before they even log on.
