This checklist outlines the steps required to set up an office email account for new employees, ensuring they have the necessary access and tools to communicate effectively within the organization.
Collect the new employee's full name, job title, department, and start date to ensure accurate account creation.
Using the organizationās email system, create a new email account with the standard naming convention (e.g., [email protected]).
Configure email forwarding options for the new account if the employee is transitioning from another department or role.
Set up a default email signature that includes the employee's name, title, and contact information.
Send a test email to and from the new account to ensure it is functioning correctly and the employee can send/receive emails.
Prepare and deliver instructions to the new employee on how to access their email account, including any necessary login credentials.
Notify the IT support team that the new email account has been created and is ready for use.
