Conversation Script

Manager

Come on in, we've been looking forward to having you join the team.

New Hire

Thanks, I'm a little nervous, but I'm mostly just excited to get started.

Manager

That's totally normal, everyone feels that way on their first day.

New Hire

Good to know, so where should I go to pick up my badge?

Manager

HR will sort that out for you right after this meeting.

New Hire

Perfect, and will someone show me around the office later?

Manager

Definitely, one of your teammates will give you a full tour this afternoon.

New Hire

Great, I'm hoping to meet everyone before the week is over.

Manager

You will, we've actually planned a small welcome lunch for you on Friday.

New Hire

Wow, that's really thoughtful, I wasn't expecting anything like that.

Manager

We like to make sure new hires feel comfortable right from the start.

New Hire

I appreciate that, it definitely takes some of the pressure off.

Manager

Just ask questions whenever you need to, nobody expects you to know everything yet.

New Hire

That's a relief, I'll definitely be asking plenty of questions this week.
