Today I have joined the company vs Today I joined the company

Both sentences are correct, but the verb tenses are different. 'Today I have joined the company' emphasizes the action of joining the company recently and that it is still relevant at the time of speaking. 'Today I joined the company' simply states that you joined the company on the same day without emphasizing the current relevance.
