Build a new-hire welcome template

Get a warm, reusable welcome with placeholders for the details that change per hire and fixed blocks for the ones that don’t.

The prompt

Build a reusable welcome template for new hires.

Context: sent [the Friday before start / on day one] from [People team / the hiring manager]. Details that change: names, start date, team, buddy, first-week schedule. Details that stay fixed: tools to set up, onboarding checklist link, who to contact for what.
Audience: new employees who don’t know our acronyms or where anything lives.
Tone: warm and encouraging; helpful, not just cheerful.
Must include:
– A personal welcome line with placeholders for name and team
– “Your first week” (3 things to expect)
– “Set yourself up” (3 quick actions)
– “Who to contact for what” as a short list
– A CTA button: “View your onboarding checklist”
Constraints: under 250 words in sample form; every acronym spelled out.
Output: the template with sample content marked [like this], and a note on which fields change per hire or cohort.

How to use

Pair this with a "Create" prompt when a cohort starts — the template is the shell, the cohort details are the content.
