- The Meet Your Team section must be added to the new employee's onboarding policy. See Add the Meet Your Team Section to an Onboarding Policy.

About Meet Your Team
The Meet Your Team section in Getting Started welcomes new employees with an introductory message, introduces them to the team members who they will be working with, and provides access to a view of their team's organizational structure.
By default, Meet Your Team sections are configured based on the employee's onboarding policy, and populated with team cards based on the company's org hierarchy. For example, you could have sections for managers, immediate team members, and direct reports.
You can add additional sections to include other types of team members. You can also customize each section by editing its description or updating its list of team members to include employees outside your team's org hierarchy who new hires might need to know.
It’s best to keep your lists to 25 or fewer employees per section. You don’t have to worry about selecting a person twice or adding someone who’s no longer with your organization. The application saves terminated employees but doesn’t show them to new employees.
