Welcome to the Team Messages for New Employees & Coworkers (60 Notes)

Find 60 welcome-to-the-team messages for new employees, coworkers, managers, remote teammates, formal emails, and short notes.

A good welcome-to-the-team message helps a new person feel less like an outsider and more like they already have a place to begin.

This page is different from welcome-back messages because it is for someone joining a team for the first time: a new employee, coworker, manager, remote teammate, or project partner.

Use these messages in onboarding emails, Slack notes, first-day cards, team announcements, and welcome bouquets.
