Employee Welcome Packs
Starting a new job should feel exciting and it’s one of those events where the little things matter, and something as simple as a welcome pack can help your new employees feel settled. Employee welcome packs set the tone from day one and help to give new starters an idea of your company culture and how you care for your employees.
It can also be a time-consuming process, so that’s where we can help. We work with businesses to help them create and manage employee welcome packs and branded onboarding packs that feel considered, on-brand and easy to roll out.
We take care of everything from product selection and sourcing through to packaging, storage and global fulfilment.
Why Branded Onboarding Packs?
A simple answer to this question is that first impressions really do matter. A welcome pack is often the first physical interaction someone has with your brand so you want it to feel right.
A good welcome pack does more than just say ‘welcome’, it helps them feel part of the team quickly and that’s important for employee retention. Receiving something practical and well-designed on day one reinforces good company culture and makes onboarding feel more intentional.
The best onboarding packs usually include a mix of practical and branded items such as:
- Notebooks and stationery
- Branded drinkware
- Tech accessories for day-to-day work
- Clothing like hoodies or t-shirts
- Desk essentials and accessories
- Small treats or added extras
It’s not about how much you include but about choosing items people will actually use and keep. And if you’re not sure what these items are or where to start, this is where we can help.
