Document background
The Welcome Letter For New Employees is a standard onboarding document used across Danish organizations to facilitate a smooth transition for new hires. It serves as a complementary document to the employment contract, providing practical information and creating a positive first impression. The document is typically issued after the employment contract is signed but before the employee's first day, ensuring they have all necessary information to start their role confidently. Under Danish employment law, particularly the Ansættelsesbevisloven (Danish Act on the Employer's Obligation to Inform Employees), employers must provide certain information in writing, and this welcome letter helps fulfill these requirements while maintaining an engaging and welcoming tone. The document reflects Danish workplace culture's emphasis on work-life balance, flat hierarchies, and open communication.
