Important: Please ask HR or the office manager who your new colleague’s Mentor and Manager is (this can be 2 separate people) and where they will be seated at the office, at least 1 working day before they arrive so that you can introduce them on their first day.
When your new colleague arrives, they’ll know who their buddy is, so they’ll ask for you on arrival. Please make sure to arrive on time on the day your new colleague arrives, as you are their first point of contact. If you are unable to arrive on time on the day, please communicate to the office manager the day before or on signal before 9:30 am, so that your new colleague will be greeted by another member of our team.
Show them where they can hang their coat and which place they can take to work.

After getting a drink, introduce him/her/x to the office staff (managers and what they do) and Jans and Willem.
Please also check with them if their Stager Web-user and Stage backstage accounts are working. For more info please refer to (and the difference between a web user and a backstage account) this link for the web user account and this one for the backstage account.
Employes is the payroll platform Mediamatic uses.
Your new colleague has already received an invite for Employes, check with them if they’ve successfully logged in. More information on using employes, can be found here.
Go to mediamatic.nl and help your new colleague out with logging into the website. Show them how to add their profile to the team's page. A profile already exists (the Office Manager already made it when making an account to login to the website). So go to the ‘This is our team’ page and go to the page of your new colleague. Now show how to edit text and add an image.
Go to the knowledge home page and guide them around the knowledge page, check which parts are suitable for them, and show them how we work with the Knowledge page as a place for gathering our knowledge.
Add your new colleague to the Mediamatic 2.0 Signal group. To do this, they need to have Signal installed and validated, and add their number to your phone, if everything is well, you can now add them by going into the group settings.
Make sure that you explain and practice the steps of hosting and cleaning with your new colleague. Please make sure for hosting that they know how to and which doors to unlock; which buttons to press for the sliding doors; and where the light switches are before their first hosting shift!
Last but very much not least, take them on a tour of the grounds and if they haven’t already, introduce them to the rest of the team.
