Translation missing: en.sections.article_template.title: First Impressions Count: Designing a Memorable New Hire Welcome Kit
We’re a relatively humble bunch here at Delightly, but we definitely give ourselves a hefty pat on the back when it comes to making lasting memories. We love knowing that our service and products bring delight, cheek-to-cheek smiles, and long-lasting gratitude to the workplace and beyond. We’ve received praise from companies big and small, especially in response to our custom-built, new employee welcome kits. These kits truly make those first days shine bright and give your newest team member something to cheer about from the get-go.
And what’s best is we have the customization process so dialed in you barely need to lift a finger!
Here’s a great case study for reference: not long ago, Amazon asked us to help them design a kit they could use to thank their employees—a gift that aligned with their innovative and high-level performance values. The goal: to have a gift kit pre-produced, at the ready, to send out on an as-needed basis.
Again, humility aside, we pulled it off in perfect style, giving Amazon an authentic, unique go-to kit that matched their beliefs and spread appreciation throughout their company. So far, over 500 gifting smiles have been delivered to support their internal business efforts.
The Impact of Positive Memories
Really, how great will it be when your new hire’s first impression is one filled with pure happiness and total admiration? A successful onboarding process, including adding special details that set you apart, will be reflected in employee loyalty and retention.
The impact of a positive onboarding experience speaks loud and clear. Harvard Business Review quoted a source that reports “51% of employees say they’d go ‘above and beyond’ in their work if they had a good onboarding experience.” Further, they state half of new hires already think about leaving their jobs, especially based on “feeling undertrained due to poor onboarding.”
Clearly, the key is building a solid onboarding program—be prepared, have all your ducks in a row, and make an impression that sticks. A well-thought-out employee welcome kit can make a significant difference. Not only does it show that the company cares, but it also sets the tone for the company culture, making new employees feel valued and part of the team from day one.

A few words about customization—the sky’s the limit! Aim high with things like:

To tie a beautiful ribbon on the experience, we’ll assign you your own Account Manager to ensure every detail is covered. Your new hire will stand in awe of how you have it all together, making their first impression last a lifetime. The welcome kit is more than just a gift; it's a tangible piece of your company culture, embodying the values and spirit that you want your new employees to embrace.
Enhancing Company Culture
An effective employee welcome kit does more than just offer a warm greeting. It provides a glimpse into the company culture, reinforcing the values and behaviors that you want to cultivate. Items included in the welcome kit should reflect the company’s ethos and mission. For example, if your company values sustainability, including eco-friendly products in the kit sends a powerful message to new employees about what matters to your organization.
Moreover, a thoughtfully curated welcome kit can help new employees feel more connected to their colleagues and the overall company culture. This connection is crucial for fostering teamwork and collaboration, which are key components of a productive and harmonious workplace. By giving new hires a welcome kit that speaks to your company's unique culture, you are not just welcoming them to the team—you are inviting them to be an integral part of your story.
