‍

But unless you’re scouring the web for more than 10 hours a day and have a carefully curated collection of work-related memes at the ready, finding the perfect “welcome to the team” meme can take some work. 

Fortunately, we've collected the best welcome to the team memes and compiled them for you. Browse these memes, find the one that suits your new team member’s vibe, and welcome them to the team with a chuckle! 

Why Send New Hires A Welcome To The Team Meme?

Memes are mostly known as the ever-evolving online language used by predominantly Gen Z and younger millennials – or so we thought.

‍

Funnily enough, memes have become widely popular among all age groups and people from all walks of life. Whether it be a CEO or a stay-at-home parent, everyone enjoys a good chuckle. 

‍

It’s no surprise then that memes have become a big part of modern business communication. From company group chats to presentations, memes have become an easy way to lighten company business atmospheres and bring a little colour into the corporate world. 

‍

A meme is an awesome way to break the ice with a new team member. It doesn’t cost money and it doesn’t put the new member at the receiving end of a sincere, but uncomfortable speech. It’s also a fun way to cultivate a stress-free but hard-working work environment.
