Breaking it Down: Sample New Employee Bio

So you’ve just gotten a new position at a company – congratulations! As a new employee, being the newbie on staff isn’t always easy. The good news is that companies can post a new employee bio to introduce them to everyone through company websites and employee profiles.

The new employee bio, accompanied by a nice picture of the new employee, will not only break the ice so the new employee will feel more comfortable, but will also create a friendly company culture.

The new employee bio on the company website staff roster is a welcoming gesture on behalf of the company’s administration team. It implies, “You’re now part of our team, and we welcome you.” We have included three new employee bios as samples. Pay close attention to the new employee bios’ length and information to include. 

These are actual client bios; the names of individuals and institutions have been changed to protect their privacy.
