It\u2019s also an important part of the onboarding process. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/resourcesandtools\/hr-topics\/talent-acquisition\/pages\/dont-underestimate-the-importance-of-effective-onboarding.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Over two-thirds of new employees<\/a> stay 3 years or longer at a company when they experience good onboarding procedures. A good employee welcome kit is all part of that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, what makes a good employee onboarding kit? What items should you include to get the most out of your swag? We\u2019ll clue you into why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/7-incredible-new-employee-welcome-kit-ideas\/\">employee welcome kits<\/a> are important and what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/\">branded products<\/a> you should throw in there to make your new hires feel valued and prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-1-1024x734.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Swag For New Employee Kit\" class=\"wp-image-25992\" width=\"664\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-1-1024x734.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-1-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-1-768x550.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-1.jpg 1066w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Value of a New Employee Welcome Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To put it plainly, no one wants to show up to their first\nday on the job feeling like their employer hasn\u2019t prepared them to excel. They\nalso don\u2019t want to feel like their first day is an afterthought to the company.\nA poor onboarding process that simply thrusts a new hire into the fire can be\noverwhelming and disappointing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, an onboarding kit in and of itself isn\u2019t going to\nmake your new employee eternally loyal to your cause, but it\u2019s not a bad start.\nHaving a bunch of company swag can help them feel like they are part of\nsomething bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may even wear a branded t-shirt with pride or carry a\nwater bottle wherever they go outside of the office. Swag is a great way to\nkeep new hires engaged in the company culture while also allowing them to act\nas brand ambassadors in their daily lives. Some other benefits of a good\nemployee welcome kit include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It motivates employees to work hard and be\nproductive<\/li><li>It introduces your brand and style aesthetic to\nthe employee<\/li><li>It helps give them a good idea of the company\nculture<\/li><li>It informs them of everything from office rules\nto answers to frequently asked questions<\/li><li>It gives them the tools they need to do their\njobs efficiently<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, more goes in to a welcome kit than simply a bunch\nof swag. Rules, company values, a list of FAQs, and any onboarding paperwork\nthat may still need to be signed will also usually be in the kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While those things are important, they\u2019re typically not\nmemorable and might give your new employee a bland vibe. So, it makes sense to\nspice up the less exciting aspects of onboarding with a little swag. So, what\nkind of swag goes into a welcome kit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-office-and-apparel.jpg\" alt=\"New Employee Welcome Kit with Office Products and Apparel\" class=\"wp-image-25987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-office-and-apparel.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-office-and-apparel-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/new-employee-welcome-kit-office-and-apparel-768x649.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apparel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a new employee takes their first look at a swag bag or\nbox, they will undoubtedly be expecting something they can wear. Apparel is a\ngreat way to offer your new hires something cool and functional that they can\nshow off wherever they go. An article of clothing with your branding on it can\nalso help them feel like they are a part of the team from the get-go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obvious go-to for promotional apparel is a shirt.\nEveryone wears them and they can be used in multiple settings. Custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/1139\/T-SHIRTS.html\">t-shirts<\/a>\nare a common option, but you can also go for something a little more formal\nlike a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/1167\/POLO-SHIRTS.html\">polo<\/a>\nor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/1168\/DRESS-SHIRTS.html\">dress\nshirt.<\/a> In any event, your branding will be featured prominently on the\nfront (or back) of the shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also want go with something a little more heavy-duty\nlike a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/572\/Mens.html\">hoodie<\/a>\nor even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/1232\/JACKETS.html\">jacket<\/a>\nif you live in an area where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/9-best-winter-promotional-items-to-help-your-clients-and-employees-brave-the-cold\/\">weather\ngets particularly cold<\/a>. Another great option that works for both the board\nroom and the outdoors is a nice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/1236\/VESTS.html\">vest<\/a>.\nTypically, though, a shirt is the most practical option based on the amount of\nspace you have available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, you don\u2019t have to opt for just an article of clothing\nthat covers the torso. There are plenty of other apparel options that can make\nyour new employees feel right at home, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20083\/Custom-Socks.html\">Custom\nsocks<\/a> \u2013 You can put any design on a pair of socks that you want. This can\nbe a fun gift that lets your new hires see your lighter side.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/664\/HEADWEAR.html\">Headwear<\/a> \u2013\nWhether you looking for a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/1306\/Ballcaps.html\">baseball cap<\/a>\nor a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/32\/Beanies.html\">warm\nbeanie<\/a>, you can never go wrong with some headwear.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/579\/SCARVES.html\">Scarves<\/a> \u2013\nWinter\u2019s on its way, and a comfortable scarf can keep your new employees\nfeeling cozy despite the cold weather.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/custom-corporate-gifts-for-employees-under-10-dollars.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Corporate Gifts For Employees Under 10 Dollars\" class=\"wp-image-25792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/custom-corporate-gifts-for-employees-under-10-dollars.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/custom-corporate-gifts-for-employees-under-10-dollars-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tech Stuff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology is as important now as it\u2019s ever been, and many\nof us have become inseparable from our devices and gadgets. So, it makes sense\nto surprise your new hires with something more than just a t-shirt and a few\ntchotchkes on their first day. You might think that a branded piece of tech\nmight be out of your budget, but there are plenty of options that are both cool\nand affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, an increasingly popular (and necessary) device\nis the vaunted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20004\/Power-Banks.html\">power bank<\/a>.\nIf you\u2019re unfamiliar, a power bank holds and delivers charging power to\nsmartphones, tablets, and other devices so that you\u2019re never without the use of\nyour most important gadgets. Power banks also have a job-specific component for\nemployees who need to use their phone while out and about. Quality brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20076\/Anker.html\">Anker<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20113\/Custom-Mophie-Power-Banks-And-Chargers.html\">mophie<\/a>\ncan really signal how appreciative you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping a phone charged is important, but there are also\nplenty of other tech items that can effectively welcome your new hires into the\nfold. Some of these include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/421\/Headphones.html\">Headphones<\/a>\nand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/496\/Earbuds.html\">earbuds<\/a>\n\u2013 Everyone likes to listen to music or podcasts with a little privacy. A nice\npair of earbuds or headphones (including those from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20135\/Custom-Beats-Headphones.html\">Beats<\/a>)\ncan make the public transit ride to work a little more relaxing.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20010\/Bluetooth-Speakers.html\">Bluetooth\nspeakers<\/a> \u2013 Sometimes, people enjoy listening to their favorite tunes with a\ngroup of people.

Most employees aren\u2019t toting\nall these items around on their first day. So, just giving those products to\nthem can ease their mind and help them integrate more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, there are also plenty of other functional items that\nwould go great in a new employee welcome kit. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/149\/Sport-Bottles.html\">water bottles<\/a>\nhave almost become an aspect of the work uniform. As people rely less on\nsingle-use plastic bottles, it\u2019s important to have a reusable water bottle with\nthem at all times to remain hydrated. You can also opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/your-personalized-guide-to-the-best-custom-water-bottles\/\">impressive\nbrands<\/a> like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20102\/h2go-Custom-Drinkware.html\">h2go<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20117\/Custom-CamelBak-Water-Bottles.html\">Camelbak<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20123\/Custom-Swell-Bottles.html\">S\u2019well<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying with the theme of drinkware, a personal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/477\/Coffee-Mugs.html\">coffee mug<\/a>\ncan also be a welcome sight for any new employee. Most people drink coffee, and\nif they don\u2019t, they almost certainly drink something else like orange juice,\ntea, or milk. New hires won\u2019t have to worry about bringing their own dishes to\nthe office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Fun and Functional Stuff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want your new employees to view you as a fun and\nexciting company, then you may want to fill your welcome kit with some fun and\nexciting swag. Not everything in the onboarding box or bag has to be 100%\npractical for the purposes of the job. Some great gifts that will be sure to\nput a smile on your new employee\u2019s face include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/swag-for-the-office-desk.jpg\" alt=\"Swag For the Office Desk\" class=\"wp-image-23861\" width=\"341\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/swag-for-the-office-desk.jpg 423w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/swag-for-the-office-desk-300x281.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20072\/PopSockets.html\">PopSockets<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20012\/Selfie-Sticks.html\">Selfie\nsticks<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/555\/Outdoor-Games.html\">Flying\ndiscs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/387\/Sunglasses.html\">Sunglasses<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to go heavy on the \u201cfun\u201d stuff, you can\nalso add some other functional, but non-essential items to the mix.
