Whether you're the new kid on the block at a company of 5 people or 50, introductions can be difficult.
However, properly introducing yourself is a very important step in building both professional and personal relationships with your coworkers.
You should first find out if your hiring manager is planning on sending out an email or introducing you in a team meeting. Then you will know your next steps, but ultimately it should be up to the human resources department or your supervisor to initiate early introductions.
If he or she doesn’t follow through, then you’ll know you’ll need to take matters into your own hands.If you haven't been introduced to everyone already, don't be afraid to ask your supervisor if he or she is willing to introduce you to people you will be working with. You can handle it casually, so as not to sound demanding or upset. Just say, “I’ve started getting a feel for who works here and who I’ll be working with, but I’m still a little unclear. Think you’d have 10 minutes or so for a round of introductions this morning?”
If your supervisor is inaccessible, use your common sense (or ask around) to figure out who you will likely be interfacing with and then introduce yourself to them in person if possible. If you work at a small company, it should be relatively easy to figure out who you’ll be collaborating with on a day-to-day basis.
Starting a new job can be stressful. After all, on top of having a new job to do, you're meeting new people, and you're learning about your role in a new company. The more you prepare, the less stressful starting out will be.
