The first week will be filled with introductions to key team members, getting up to speed on critical projects, and learning about systems and processes. It might feel like a whirlwind with lots of meetings and information, so make sure you leave space for your new joiner to absorb the content and formulate questions. Even better if you can make it collaborative, enabling them to input when they’re ready for more content, and when they need a break. Use the [week one agenda template](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/first-week-agenda-template#blogForm) to get a good balance of meetings, presentations, and some fun, virtual icebreaker games. ** Published June 3, 2020 / by [Ivan Harding](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/author/ivan-harding) #### Share the knowledge: - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### Download our free, first week agenda template We just need a few details first, and then we'll email you straight away with your free templates. ### Further Applaud news and insights you might like ### [The 2026 State of HR Service Report Learn how to transform HR into a people-first function that builds trust, designs better experiences, and drives real business results in this interactive, 10-minute guide . ** Jan 7, 2026 5:34:27 PM / by [Applaud](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/resources/author/applaud)](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/the-2026-state-of-hr-service-report) [Read More](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/the-2026-state-of-hr-service-report) ### [Cultivating an employee-first mindset Learn how to transform HR into a people-first function that builds trust, designs better experiences, and drives real business results in this interactive, 10-minute guide . ** Oct 10, 2025 12:20:41 PM / by [Applaud](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/resources/author/applaud)](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/cultivating-an-employee-first-mindset) [Read More](https://www.applaudhr.com/resources/cultivating-an-employee-first-mindset) [![Applaud](https://www.applaudhr.com/hubfs/Redesign_2024/Applaud-logo-HRSD.svg "Applaud")](https://www.applaudsolutions.com) Products - [ Knowledge Management ](https://www.applaudhr.com/products/knowledge-management) - [ Ai Assistant ](https://www.applaudhr.com/products/ai-assistant) - [ HR Case Management ](https://www.applaudhr.com/products/hr-case-management) - [ Employee Portal ](https://www.applaudhr.com/products/people-portal) - [ Journeys ](https://www.applaudhr.com/products/journeys) Creator Platform Use case By team Next steps Learn Support Grow - - - - Creating HR service delivery tech from an employee point-of-view, Applaud puts the employee at the center of their everyday world of work, with direct access and personalized control, helping HR do more for their people.
