Communication before new employee starts

Once the offer of employment has been accepted managers should be encouraged to build the relationship – to show an interest in their new employee and keep them interested in the organisation.

You should plan a start date to work towards – this may depend on how long it takes to carry out pre-employment checks and on the employee’s notice period.

The following information should be shared before the employee’s first day:

• When to arrive and who to ask for
• What to wear - if there is a particular dress code
• Where to park if travelling by car
• Catering arrangements - are there on site facilities or should they bring a packed lunch? 
• Any special arrangements for their first day - will the team or organisation be doing anything out of the ordinary?
• If they will have their photo taken for an ID pass
• Reminders if they haven't sent in their P45 or provided bank details etc.
