Starting a new job can be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. For businesses, this is a great time to make those individuals feel like part of the team and ready to start on the right track. One of the most effective ways you can do this is by gifting your onboards with a personalised welcome pack.
Why welcome packs matter
First impressions are most important with new hires. Helping new staff members feel like a valued part of the team is key as well as helping to reinforce your brand. This shows you have thought about their experience, helping to send a positive message to them, starting you off in a great way.
Whether you’re onboarding one person or multiple people, giving them a welcome pack gives them a sense of pride and belonging.
What you can include
The best welcome packs include a range of practical promotional items that the team member will use. Some ideas could include:
- Branded notebooks and pens, great for writing notes down in meetings and whilst learning the job.
- A reusable water bottle or cup is a great stylish way to stay hydrated.
- Printed t-shirts help new members feel like part of the team; these work really well for remote workers as well.
- Desk essentials like mouse mats, tech accessories, or even a personalised name badge.
- Tote bags and backpacks are handy for commuting and holding bits for meetings.
These welcome packs don’t have to break the budget and can be delivered quickly. We offer both off-the-shelf and bespoke promotional packs to suit your needs. We work with you to find your perfect welcome packs that suit your guidelines.
The business benefits
Welcome packs aren’t just a nice gesture; they also contribute to:
- boosting employee engagement.
- Encourage brand pride.
- Support smoother onboarding.
- Increase employees’ efforts for the business.
Due to the items being branded, they also serve as marketing tools, whether they are seen on the go, in a co-working space, or in a meeting in person or over Zoom.
