Do you want to set the tone for a fantastic first day on the job for your new hires? Create a lasting first impression by giving them custom new hire welcome packages when they begin employment. If you're having trouble making a promotional welcome pack for new employees, this article will show you how.

What is a New Employee Welcome Package

Indeed.com defines a welcome package as "a collection of free objects that a company can offer new employees on their first day in the workplace." It is colloquially known as "company swag" or simply "swag," a collection of branded promotional products businesses utilise to advertise their company and brand. Besides personalised company merch, it often includes a welcome letter, an employee handbook, and HR forms and documents.

Benefits of New Staff Welcome Packs

Tbh, there is no set way to create a welcome pack. The most crucial thing is that your welcome kit should accurately represent your company's voice, values, culture, and ethos. But what are the advantages of sending welcome packages to new employees?

• It could help contribute to a smooth onboarding process. According to Thinkwise, an effective onboarding process can significantly impact the motivation of new hires throughout their first 90 days on the job.
• It helps get a new hire settled in at your company. Giving a new employee a box full of corporate swag is a simple way to make them feel welcome and a part of the team from day one.
• It helps remote employees feel motivated to start their new jobs and connected to your company, even if they aren't in your office. Nothing says "you're one of us" quite like having corporate merchandise with your brand printed on it prominently displayed on top of their home office desk.
• Lastly, it helps create instant brand exposure online and offers free advertising, especially on LinkedIn. In addition, the swag has the highest recall rate of any form of advertising, and 82% of people have a favourable impression of the brand because of it, based on a Sales Hacker article.
