According to research by Glassdoor, Employee Retention can be improved by 82% by investing time in a great employee onboarding program. This also increases the productivity levels of the employee by 70%.

The means by which your company welcomes new employees shows how much you value your employees. It also gives an opportunity to the present employees of the company to get a chance of interacting with the new hire.

An employee announcement mail should begin with a congratulatory note, followed by a brief introduction of the new employee highlighting why she is a perfect fit for the company. This mail will also serve as an icebreaker between the current employees of the company and the new employee. It should encourage other members to welcome the new employee.

Possible Subjects:

• Welcome to the team, [employee name]!
• Welcoming [employee name] to our team!
• Congratulating [employee name]!
