Let’s be real, onboarding employees is challenging and a lot of work is required.
Setting up the onboarding program is only the beginning to a series of other components; providing resources, mentors, communicating expectations, getting tools to streamline or automate onboarding and so much more!
To those who know what we are talking about, we salute you and appreciate the work you do!
A well thought out onboarding kit goes a long way to foster unity and a sense of belonging. It can help a new employee to feel excited, appreciated, and ultimately, welcomed to the company.
Typically well loved welcome kits are:
1. Thoughtful items that can add value to your employees work life or overall well being.
2. Company Branded.
3. Items and messaging are in line with the company's values.
4. Some form of personalisation or options.
That being said, we have curated some item ideas for you to leave an awesome first impression and help your team to assimilate better.
1. T-Shirt/Hoodie/Sweatshirt
2. Totebag
3. Cap
4. Bottle/Mug
Be creative!
Some Ideas to Reflect Your Company Culture
1. Welcome note
2. Is wellness a big thing? Think sweatpants, yogamats, etc
3. Is your company eco-conscious? Sustainable products: reusable straw/mugs,
TLDR;
Whatever your budget is, big or small keep in mind the goal of:
1. Making employees feel appreciated, welcomed and engaged.
2. Be personal as much as you are able to.
3. Giving a good impression.
