A new employee introduction email goes to the team on or just before day one and says who is joining, in what role, reporting to whom, what they will be working on first, and one or two things about them they have agreed to share. It is short, sent by the manager, and it is an item on the onboarding checklist. The onboarding checklist on this site lists it with the rest of the first week, free and without an account; HeadcountDesk Pro records it as sent.

The facts
Name, role, start date, manager, where they sit or which channel they are in. The paragraph that lets colleagues greet them by name.
What they will do
The first project or the area they own, so the team knows what to bring them and what not to.
Something about them, with permission
One or two things the new hire has agreed to share. Not a biography; a handle for the first conversation.
Sent by the manager, ticked on the checklist
