# Onboarding The goal of onboarding new team members is to: 1. Get them up to speed as quickly as possible so they can be productive and contribute. 2. Make them feel welcome! We have a[ people project in Blue ](https://beta.app.blue.cc/company/blue/projects/people/todo)where we keep important information for each team member. Key information that we need to capture for each new team member: * **Banking information:** Where do we pay the salary? * **Copy of ID:** Copy of government-issued ID * **Emergency Family/Spouse Contact Details:** Details of Next of Kin * **Address:** What is their home address? * **Salary Information:** How much is this team member earning? * **Asset Information:** What assets (i.e. computers) have been provided to the team member? In addition, we provision access to: * Corporate Email — This is via our Google Workspace subscription. Our default naming convention is {fname}@blue.cc * Blue Account — There should be an invite to Blue already in their inbox when they first check their email. * Gitlab — Repo Access via Gitlab if the team member is an engineer. * Telegram — Chat Access to Blue Team, and if the team member is an engineer, then Blue Dev group as well. Team leads should take the new team member out for a welcome lunch in their first week if they are not working remotely. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
