Send the new hire welcome on day one

On a new hire's first morning Dash posts the welcome in the team channel, sends the first week schedule with every meeting already on the calendar, and names the three people they should meet, without the People team having to remember the date.

Today is a start date. Drafted the day one pack for the new support engineer, held for approval as usual.

Ready to send
  • Welcome post for the team channel, naming the role and who they work with
  • Direct message with the first week schedule, 6 sessions, all already on the calendar
  • Three introductions: the support manager, the on-call lead, and the person who owns the docs they will live in

Accounts are provisioned, the laptop was delivered Friday and signed for. Nothing is blocking a clean first day.

Send it. Add Priya to the intros, she runs the escalation rota now.

Sent. Welcome posted, schedule delivered, four introductions made including Priya on the escalation rota.

I have put a check in on your list for Friday afternoon to ask how week one went. If the answer is "fine" nobody needs to do anything with it.

Nice. Can you do this automatically for every start date?

Yes, and it can run on a schedule so nobody has to remember. The pack would still be drafted and held for a person to approve each morning rather than sent unattended, because a welcome message going out to the wrong person is not a recoverable mistake.

Say the word and I will set it up. It reads start dates from the HR system, so it works for every hire, not just this one.
