welcome aboard

New crew salutation

Welcome aboard is a greeting extended to someone joining a group, organization, or venture.

Originally nautical—said to passengers or crew boarding a ship—it now applies to new employees, team members, or anyone entering a collective enterprise: Welcome aboard! We're excited to have you on the team.
