5 Essential Items to Put in Employee Welcome Kits

Welcoming a new employee to the team is an exciting time for both the employer and the employee. It's a chance to make a positive first impression and set the stage for a successful journey together.

In this blog we will explore the five essential items to include in new employee welcome kits, ensuring a warm and memorable start for every newcomer.

1. Personalized Note

A personalized note has a big impact and immediately makes a recruit feel valued and seen.

It gives a welcoming atmosphere and shows enthusiasm for their coming.

On the other hand, including the employee's name displays a personal way, making her feel a part of the team very from the start.

2. Company Handbook or Welcome Guide

A company handbook or new employee guide is a very useful tool for new employees as they discover their way around the company.

It gives information as to what the company's policies and procedures are.

Providing this data in a way that is easy to understand shows the company’s responsibility and appreciation.

3. Welcome Gift or Treat

A thoughtful box of welcome gifts or treats included in the new employee welcome package adds an elegant touch to the new employee's onboarding experience.

This could be a gift card, a box of gourmet chocolates, or fresh flowers. It is a small step that will give them a warm welcome.

4. Branded Merchandise

Branded merchandise becomes both useful and functional items for employees who should be proud to display their company.

It could include things like branded t-shirts, mugs, caps, or water bottles.

The visiting cards or the business cards, calendars, folders, notebooks, etc. act as visible symbols of the company's identity.

5. Team Directory or Contact List

The team directory or contact list will help new employees connect with their colleagues and build rapport with them easily.

Along with their photos, job titles, and contact details should be provided to ensure smooth communication and collaboration.

Encourage existing team members to welcome the newcomer and offer assistance, promoting inclusivity and collaboration.
