A message sent to individuals joining an organization, typically before their first day, is a common practice. Such communications often include information about onboarding processes, team introductions, and initial tasks. For example, a new employee might receive a pre-arrival message containing the company’s dress code policy, a schedule for their first week, and a link to complete necessary paperwork.
The value of such early communication lies in setting expectations and fostering a sense of belonging. It can reduce anxiety associated with starting a new job, improve employee engagement from the outset, and streamline the initial onboarding experience. Historically, these exchanges have evolved from simple informational letters to more dynamic and personalized digital communications, reflecting a greater emphasis on employee experience.
