While the users will get an automated email from the platform once an Admin initiates their invite, we recommend that Admins/Champions send out a note to their group to give them context behind PrinciplesUs, what to expect when/after completing the Principles Assessment, and helpful resources to learn more. Below is a template for this "Welcome Email" and we recommend that you make any edits to the content to best align the tone to your culture and goals for using PrinciplesUs.
Please note, the instructions within the 'Ready to begin your journey' part of the below email is for those accounts set up with email/password log in, and not for those with SSO.

PrinciplesUs Resources
In this quick 5-min video, Adam Grant talks about getting into a helpful mindset for approaching personality assessments and how they can be powerful tools for your personal reflection and reflection with others.
Learn more about the value of understanding yourself and others in this video, recorded live as part of the 2021 Collision Conference, where Ray, Arianna Huffington (founder and CEO of Thrive Global), and Adam Grant (organizational psychologist and co-creator of PrinciplesYou) discuss their own results, how they relate to one another, and how learning what they’re really like allowed them to deal with their strengths and weaknesses.
In his TED talk, Dr. Brian Little, Cambridge research professor and co-creator of the PrinciplesUs Assessment, dissects the surprising differences between introverts and extroverts and explains why your personality may be more malleable than you think. (~15 minutes)
