Perfecting your business’s onboarding experience is crucial for welcoming and retaining new employees. One of the best ways to make new hires feel welcomed is to provide them with an onboarding kit as a part of their training. Onboarding kits may contain various items, from supplies your employees will need for work to welcoming gifts and merchandise. Give your employees a great first impression and onboarding experience with the best items to add to your onboarding kits this year.

Company Merchandise

Providing new employees with custom branded company merchandise is the perfect way to make them feel like part of the team. Providing your team with branded merchandise is just like supplying sports players with jerseys—merchandise is a key part of building team spirit. If you’re considering ordering your own company swag, start with something everyone will love, such as baseball caps or T-shirts. You can find a wide variety of blank baseball caps here at KBETHOS to get started.

Work Technology

Many businesses have moved part or all their employees to a work-from-home model over the last few years. In order to support employee productivity while working from home, consider providing them with up-to-date technology such as a company computer, laptop, or smartphone. Providing employees with all the necessary technology will help them get set up and ready to work remotely more efficiently than trying to acquire their own technology.

Gift Cards

If your business has a company store or partners with other businesses in your area, consider providing new employees with a gift card. Even a small amount will go a long way toward showing you care and are happy to support your new employees.

Welcome Note

Nothing will welcome your new employees to the company more than a personalized welcome note in their onboarding kit. If your company is too big to give each employee a hand-written note, keep a default welcome message and personalize it for each employee’s name and position. Even a small gesture like a note can help your new employees feel noticed, appreciated, and welcomed to the company.

You can’t go wrong with any of these additions to your company onboarding kit for new employees. If you’re in need of customized company merchandise for your employees and customers alike, start by browsing our selection of blank, ready-to-customize hats here at KBETHOS.
