new employee

Recently joined staff

A new employee is someone who has recently joined an organization or company.

The term emphasizes the transitional period when a worker is still learning procedures, building relationships, and proving themselves: The new employee shadowed her supervisor for the first week.

How long someone remains a "new" employee varies by workplace culture—sometimes weeks, sometimes months.
