Complete the new starter form here. This will also inform IT of equipment requirements, request an HEE

M365 email address / account and facilities will then be automatically alerted to issue a building pass / key fob.

• Decide who is going to be their mentor (and get agreement from the mentor!)

• Plan a team in-person meetup to welcome the new starter

Line manager

Once the M365 account has been created, shortly before starting:

• Add them to the M365 TIS Group: “Trainee Information Systems”

• Add them the TIS Support “Team”

Line manager / Anita Cheng

• Share with them the Team Availability with full edit access
  [Note that this needs to be done by logging into Office 365 online and opening another mailbox - tis.team@hee.nhs.uk, going to Calendar, then right clicking the calendar in order to edit the Sharing and permissions.]

Anyone with access to shared mailbox TIS.Team@hee.nhs.uk

Slack invite:

• this can be given in advance of starting (using their private email, which will then need switching over to their work email once they start)

• add to relevant channels and groups (standard ones will be: hack-day, high-level-estimations, one-team-tis, sprint-planning, sprint-refinement, sprint-retrospective, sprint-review, sprint-stand-up, team-tech-sharings, wall-of-failure, whats-better, fire-fire, tis-team-london/manchester [delete as appropriate], internal-admin-team-general/trainee-team-general [delete as appropriate], monitoring, monitoring-ndw, monitoring-prod, notifications-jira, arbitrary, general, link-sharing, new-starters).

Getting them involved in Slack before starting helps make them feel part of the team / involved / expected / wanted. And it eases them into the work / the range of work / the lingo we use ahead of time.
