Introducing New Employees
Guidelines and Alternate Phrases
State the new employee’s name, position, effective date of employment, and, if appropriate, the reporting line.
Give details of the person’s experience—education, experience and expertise, past employers, major clients, or special projects handled.
Sarah is a graduate of Mississippi State University and received her law degree from Baylor University in 19—, the year she became associated with the San Francisco law firm of Belco & Blevins.
Jim is an expert in the areas of business/real estate/energy and has a broad range of knowledge in banking and corporate law as well.
Ask the readers to welcome the employee.
We extend our heartiest welcome to you, Sarah.
I will appreciate your help in making Jim feel welcome.
Please show Jim the ropes around here.
When introducing an employee, add a personal touch. Such introductions lean to the unimaginative—assignment, credentials, chain of command. To give staff members a start in conversation, mention a few personal details of both “official” and “unofficial” nature. Be sure, of course, to clear those details with the employee.
