So it’s your first day at Howdy?! How exciting! We’ve got a lot of fun things in store for you and we cannot wait for you to join the Howdy Community.
We know the first day/week at a new job can have a LOT of down time. Don’t you worry though, we’ve got you covered with lots of different ways to fill your time!
Ok, so we’ve got a bit of paperwork for you. BUT - you should know - that we only ask that you fill out these forms because we care deeply about making your Howdy experiences one to remember!
Your banking information - First things first - let’s make sure you’re all set up to be paid! Click the correct form and fill out your banking information ASAP! (Payoneer | Wise | Chile | Colombia | Mexico| Russia | USA | Uruguay) Then, later this week you’ll meet with a member of our finance team and they’ll be able to answer all your payment questions!
Howdy Squad Info form - This form is strictly for our community admins eyes only. It may seem a bit random but we’ll reference this information when ordering swag, sending birthday/anniversary gifts, or tagging you on social media!
Sign our Likeness & Activity Waiver - which must be signed before participating in any of our Howdy games or events! Colombia Employee Waiver | Uruguay Employee Waiver | Everyone Else's Waiver
Slack - Next, we’ve got a pretty simple task for you. After you set up your Howdy Slack be sure to setup your Slack profile: add your photo, name, title, Howdy email, and your phone number. Seems silly but this information is vital in case a partner or member of our team needs to get in contact with you for emergency purposes.
Calendars - First! Please be sure to add our client meeting calendar to your Howdy Calendar and be sure to update it with your recurring meetings to it throughout the week. We’ll reference this calendar any time we need to create a company-wide meeting. Also, be sure to check out the entire calendar page and add any other calendar you wish!
Your email signature - Follow the steps our amazing Marketing team has put together to set up your official Howdy signature!
Your LinkedIn - Now that you’re officially a part of Howdy.. Lets make it official! Remember to update your LinkedIn and feel free to utilize some of our banners!
Time Off - We know it’s your first day and time off is probably the furthest from your mind.. Right? ;) Still, it’s good to know where you need to go to request time off. Here at Howdy we’ve created a centralized form right here on the team site. Just fill it out anytime and once your manager approves your request will be added to our OOO Calendar!
Holidays - Your paid holidays are outlined in your offer letter but we understand those docs get lost over time. Check out the Howdy Drive to find our full Holiday policies. Additionally, be sure to add your country calendar to your Howdy calendar as all your paid holidays (along with their observed dates if necessary) can be found there as well.
Have a little bit more free time than you were expecting? We’ve got you covered!
Shared Slack Channels - There are more than a few ways in which you can connect with your new teammates. Check out our favorite public channels such as #virtualofficepets, #memes, or dive right into our monthly #challenge channel!
Benefits - We know, you’ve probably heard a lot about all of the AMAZING benefits Howdy offers during your onboarding but just as a refresher, be sure to check out our Benefits page!
Partners at Howdy - Check out our partner spotlights to see what you or the other devs in the company will be working on!
