Welcoming new employees the right way is truly a steppingstone to a powerful, long relationship with that employee. With proper training, proper introductions, and a proper ‘Welcome,’ employees are immediately brought into a strong team. A key factor in onboarding your employees is to provide them an onboarding gift. Onboarding gifts improve employee engagement, retention, loyalty, and sense of belonging. How to do this the right way? Delightly has options. Make it Personal Customizing Gifts with a handwritten or personalized note shows that you took the extra step. By adding something that you know they like—a favorite candy, scent, or color, is a testament to your attention to your new hire. Adding a personal touch to onboarding gifts is easy, and it is something that will stand out to new hires and be the thing they remember. Whether they mentioned liking to read in their interview and receive a new book in their kit, or you noticed an eccentric vibe and send a colorful welcome box, a personal touch to your “hello” leaves an impact. Make it Meaningful Onboarding gifts don’t have to be big and flashy, but they must translate a meaning. You want your new hires to feel like they are truly a part of a team, so something that is flimsy, cheap material, or lacks vision won’t suffice as a positive welcome. Make your employees know that you are happy that they joined the company. Add your company logo so they can fit in with their coworkers, have it reflect your company values, add something you know they will need like a notebook or coffee mug. The smallest additions to a welcome gift can go a long way. Make it Supportive Understanding that your employees have a lift outside of the four office walls is crucial to a positive employee-employer relationship. There are many ways to show support to your employees, both in and outside of the office building. Making sure they are fueled with energy snacks or a phone charger is important and makes you be viewed as an involved supervisor. Along with this, something like incense or bath salts provides your new hires with support at home as well. To be a well-rounded worker, a work-life balance is key. By acting as a strong support system, welcome kits can start this journey off on the right foot. Make it Deliteful Everybody loves to get new things. The joy of opening a gift in itself makes people happier. Delightly makes the onboarding gifts easy with quick ship, personalized, delightful gifts that truly say “thank you for joining our team.” Explore the many ways to effectively go through the onboarding gifting process today.
