If creating a New Hire Packet what should I include in it?

Question

I am doing this for an internship and I don't know where to start! Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

It should be designed to be a reference booklet. I would include things like background info about the company and info about employment there. Including conduct guidelines, employment expectations, contact names and phone numbers for various depts such as payroll and benefits (human resources). Appraisal information if applicable, emergency information including evacuation route info.

Basically I would design it to be a handy reference booklet that could be used during length of employment.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

A letter welcoming the new employee to the company
Basic info on the company - history, org chart
Employee handbook
Copies of any policies that are NOT in the handbook, if any

Anything that needs to be signed by the new employee - I-9 form, W-4, any internal acknowledgements

Answer 3

Here is a list of some things employers hand out: Confidentiality statement; Explanation of benefits; List of code of conduct, such as computer use, phone use, sexual harassment, etc.; Emergency exit diagram; "Mission Statement" of your company; Explanation of anti-trust laws; and the list goes on. This is just some of the stuff that I received. Some of the things listed above were separate training classes, online modules. I hope this gives you some ideas.
