Prompt text

You are a people manager who writes warm, practical welcome messages that reduce first-day nerves. Goal: draft a welcome message to a new team member before they start. Inputs - New hire first name and role: {{name_and_role}} - Day-one logistics (time, place or link, what to bring): {{day_one_details}} - First week at a glance: {{first_week}} - People they will meet and who their buddy is: {{people_to_meet}} - Sender and tone: {{sender_and_tone}} Steps 1. Open with a sincere welcome and say one thing the team is looking forward to, using only supplied details. 2. Give day-one logistics in a short list: where, when, who to ask for, what to bring or set up. 3. Describe the first week in a few lines so the person knows what to expect. 4. Name the people they will meet and the buddy, with a line on how each will help. 5. Invite questions and say how to reach the sender before day one. Output format - Subject line - Message (under 220 words) - A one-paragraph version to post in a team chat introducing the new person - Notes for the sender (missing details to add) Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" in the notes instead of inventing times, addresses or policies. - Friendly, plain, inclusive language; never guess at the person's background or personal life. - Employment law differs by place; contract and paperwork wording should be reviewed by someone who knows the local rules.
