Fostering a strong team dynamic and sense of belonging is a really important part of building a high-performing team—when team members genuinely like and support each other, not only are they more likely to help each other produce better work, but they’re also more likely to stay longer in an organization where there’s mutual respect and camaraderie across the team.

And while you can certainly wait for your new hire’s first day to start building those all-important bonds, it’s kind of a missed opportunity to ignore the important moment when they officially accept your invitation to come on board.

With this Recipe, you can help encourage that team spirit right out of the gate. When a candidate accepts their offer, Rippling will automatically send a notification to their soon-to-be team, prompting them to reach out to their newest teammate with congratulations and a warm welcome.

Prefer to assign a Task instead? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customize this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the action should be, who it should go to, and more.
