Businesses know that a key factor in success is having the right team in place. Attracting and retaining talented staff has been an issue for many businesses, leading to an increasing focus on creating attractive employee benefits packages. One of these increasingly common elements are freebies from companies

LinkedIn used to be a social media oddity. It did not quite fit into anything, other than posting random work-related items which attract little to no interest. Fast forward to 2019 Linkedin is popular. So with that being said, here are some of the top LinkedIn products that I have come across on the internet.

Blue and White

Specifically, navy blue, because that is the colour for professionals, right? Reflecting the corporate work ambience of the website and its users, all the promotional items are functional, practical and useful in quality. There is an emphasis on technology items. 

If you are an intern or a new graduate working with LinkedIn, you will be fortunate. This is because it comes on your first day; you will be presented with a gorgeous, welcoming pack.

Intern Goody Bag

Linkedin knows that it’s important to attract new employees with cutting-edge learning opportunities, intriguing innovation initiatives and exciting extra rewards at work. That's why they offer unique perks for their employees through their freebies. So what do you get if you start a new job with LinkedIn? Well other than (i trust) a pleasant working environment, you get a welcoming pack. Inside this welcoming pack you get:

• Standard white promotional mugs with a 1 colour screen print
• Water bottle, with what looks like a wrap-around 1 colour rotary print.
• A phone chair with a pad print
• Basic Backsack with a 1colour screen print
• A custom-branded stylus and pens combination with the Linkedin logo pad printed
• promotional Powerbanks
• A notebook
• A Mexican fiesta themed rubber duck?

Conclusion

Knowledgeable employers will recognise how expensive recruitment processes can be; not just financially but taking into account cost-per-hire metrics such as loss of productivity due to role vacancy timescales etc. Providing exclusive merchandise has been known to aid retention dramatically which helps keep those cost-per-hire figures down because it avoids the need to start recruiting again after only a few months if somebody decides they want to move on elsewhere due to demotivation.

Providing exclusive products to staff may have countless motivations and benefits. Exclusive products are a way to increase morale among employees, show appreciation for their hard work, reinforce loyalty and commitment at an absolute level, as well as help build team spirit. The sky is the limit when it comes to ideas for exclusive staff items – if your imagination can dream it up then you’ll find something that fits your needs!

This is quite a generous haul. Working for LinkedIn certainly looks like a lot of fun. With that being said, are you an intern in a new company? Have you started a job in a new business? May you have received a welcoming pack? If so, please share with us on Social Media, what you received. We would love to know about it.
