. The data for the next 2 weeks will be added to the spreadsheet to ensure sufficient time in completing the pre-onboarding tasks.
Every week, the People Experience Associate in the rotation creates a Report in BambooHR containing all Active Employees in three columns: their First Name, their Last Name, their GitLab work email. People Experience Associate adds this data to the GitLab : Moo
spreadsheet in a new weekly tab titled that Tuesday's date (format yyyy-mm-dd) so that our Moo Rep can grab this data and send out email invitations to new team members from the Moo platform.
