Presentación del Equipo y Roles en Recursos Humanos

Knowing how to introduce yourself and welcome new colleagues during a team meeting is an essential workplace skill. This lesson presents a realistic role play where professionals share basic personal information, job titles, and express enthusiasm about joining a new team — all using clear, practical English.

How do you introduce yourself in a first team meeting?

The role play features Adam leading a meeting where he introduces Veronica, a new team member, to the rest of the group. He uses a simple and effective phrase: "I want you to meet our new team member, Veronica" [00:28]. This is a common way to present someone in a professional setting.

When asked to share about herself, Veronica provides key details in a structured way:

• Her full name: Veronica Williams.
• Her age: 31 years old.
• Her profession: psychologist.
• Her experience: two years working in human resources.
• Her feelings about the role: excited to be part of the team.

This pattern — name, age, profession, experience, and a positive closing statement — is a reliable formula you can use in any workplace introduction [00:38].

What vocabulary and expressions are important for meeting the team?

Several useful terms and phrases appear throughout the conversation:

• Team member: a person who belongs to a work group.
• Human resources coordinator: Natalie's position, which involves organizing and managing people-related tasks within a company [01:05].
• OKRs: stands for Objectives and Key Results, a goal-setting framework companies use to define what they want to achieve.
• Q: short for quarter, referring to a three-month business period used for planning and reporting [01:20].

Notice how Adam says "let me introduce you to Natalie" [00:58]. The phrase let me introduce you to is a polite and professional way to connect two people who have not met before.

How do colleagues welcome a new team member?

Natalie greets Veronica warmly by sharing her own name, age, and job title, then saying "Welcome to the team" [01:10]. This is a friendly and standard expression used in workplaces around the world.

The meeting ends with casual but professional farewells: "Have a good day," "See you later," and "Bye, team" [01:32]. These short phrases help close a meeting on a positive note.

How can you practice these expressions?

Try answering the two key questions from the lesson to check your understanding:

• Who is Natalie? She is a current member of the team.
• What is her position? She is the human resources coordinator.

Practice describing yourself using Veronica's structure: state your name, age, profession, relevant experience, and how you feel about your role. Use phrases like "I am very excited to be here" or "I am part of the team" to sound natural and confident in English.
