# Putting the right habits in place as soon as a new employee arrives

### Establish the right habits from the start

Every new arrival is an opportunity to establish the right internal communication habits. From recruitment to the first steps in the company, every detail counts in making Steeple the heart of internal life.

### 1. Highlight internal communication from the recruitment stage

Don't leave internal communication in the shadows. During the interview:

* **Show Steeple** on mobile, touchscreen, or computer to showcase the company atmosphere
* Scroll through a few news items, polls, internal messages
* Emphasize that information flows well and that everyone has access to it

> *The right reflex from the start: here, information is clear, shared, and alive.*

### 2. Prepare their arrival in Steeple

As soon as the hire is confirmed, prepare their space:

* **Create their account** and add them to the right groups (team, site, topics)
* **Preload their profile photo** (with their consent or by inviting them to personalize it)
* Schedule a **welcome post** for day one (with an introduction and a light icebreaker question)
* Create a **team conversation** in the messaging app to welcome them as soon as they arrive

> *A positive first interaction encourages engagement from the very first hours.*

### 3. Set up their equipment with Steeple ready to use

When the equipment is ready, integrate Steeple from the start:

* On **computer** : set Steeple as the browser homepage, or add it to favorites
* On **mobile** : install the app and make sure access is working
* Add a shortcut to the tool in the taskbar, on the desktop, or in the app manager

> *When everything is ready, all that's left is to click... and adopt it.*

### 4. Present the uses, on the right medium

Give a short guided tour, tailored to the context:

* On **mobile**, for an employee in the field or on the move
* On **computer**, for a fixed workstation
* On **touchscreen**, for an employee who works in a shared space or workshop

Tip: adapt the demo to the employee's daily routine to maximize adoption.

### 5. Centralize the onboarding kit on Steeple Docs

Create a dedicated space bringing together everything they need to know:

* Welcome booklet
* Schedule for their first week
* How the internal tools work (time clock, hours, cafeteria…)
* Documents to read and sign directly from Docs:
  * IT charter
  * Quality/Safety policy
  * Image rights

> *Everything in one place = more autonomy and fewer requests.*

### 6. Set the right tools from the start

Set the framework from onboarding:

> *"Here, we use Steeple exclusively for internal communication. No WhatsApp or internal emails to exchange with colleagues."*

Stated clearly, this framework prevents bad habits and establishes the right collective reflex.

### 7. Encourage the first steps

Help them interact from the beginning:

* Let them **react to their welcome post**
* Show them how to **use the messaging app** to ask questions
* Invite them to check **the directory** and the **news items on the home page**
* Suggest a simple first action: respond to a poll, comment on a news item, etc.

> *The first clicks create the first connections.*

### In summary

By preparing an employee's arrival as a **key moment in company culture**, you kill two birds with one stone:

* A smooth and reassuring onboarding
* Natural adoption of Steeple as the central tool

It's simple, human, effective — and above all: sustainable.
