French term or phrase: Une présentation du nouveau collègue est de mise en point info.
This is part of a document on how to welcome a new member of staff to an organisation, going round the office and meeting new colleagues. I propose the following, but it is not entirely clear to me:

A presentation of a new colleague is a chance to update information.

Any better suggestions?

An occasion to meet and brief a new colleague


Explanation:
One suggestion, presumably a general round-the-office tour rather than a formal induction with each secvtion/member/team?

Or an opportunity/occasion for meeting and briefing...

I think that briefing in this context can cover a general rundown of things as well as something more in-depth (that would be covered in a more formal induction)
