In the words of Bob Dylan, Times, they are a-changin’. And this is especially true in the workplace.
The pandemic transformed the work-from-home concept and accelerated the need to optimise remote onboarding for new employees.
Even as the coronavirus (thankfully) recedes, virtual hiring and onboarding will continue to be important.
So, HR Managers, listen up…
Remote onboarding has become a norm, so how do you make your newbie feel welcome?
Well, you need something tangible that connects the employee to the brand.
A branded merchandise pack is an ideal way to surprise and delight your new hire. Get inspired here!
Let’s consider the benefits.
CREATES BUZZ
First impressions count, right? Feeling a “spark” when you meet someone new, or enjoy a new experience, or start a new job, is exciting. When you are introducing someone to your organisation, you want to create some excitement about it.
By sending them a welcome kit with branded swag, it also sends a clear message. That you are excited about their new opportunity and it reinforces a connection and sense of belonging.
ENGAGE NEW-HIRE FROM THE GET-GO
Employee onboarding starts not just when the employee joins the organisation. Your very first email or snail mail welcome pack is the first experience the candidate has with your organisation. It is essential to keep the candidate engaged while at the same time initiating a process of integrating them into the organisation.
FORM CONNECTION QUICKLY
You’ve already done the hard work to choose and sway great talent to join your company (go you!). Now comes the fun part of making them feel welcome with a seriously awesome welcome box that says, “We’re excited you’re here!”
Use your creativity to ensure your employee welcome kit makes an impact that will stay with your talent for as long as they stay with your organisation!

Help them get their workspace decked out with quality branded merch that makes the company name stand out.
