Whenever you bring a new team member into your organization, there’s a ton of work to be done and information to give throughout the first couple days.
We get it. You’re probably busier than ever and there’s always more work to be done.
However, taking the time to truly welcome your new hire goes a long way toward leaving a lasting positive impression with them. Getting your new hires excited from the start is key to creating loyalty and excitement about their new role.
One of the best places to start is with an employee welcome kit.
Here are five examples of employee welcome kits that are sure to make your new hire feel valued and appreciated.

Our basics box covers items that any new employee will find useful. With some custom branding elements, these items are sure to put a smile on the face of your brand new hire. It’s an easy way to say “welcome to the team”!
Here’s what’s inside the basics box:
The Jotter Pen features a soft-touch surface, a fine point gel tip, and over 15 different colors to choose from. Whether you’re taking notes or signing important documents, this is the type of pen that your new hire won’t want to lend to anybody.
A quality notebook is something that most people don’t fully appreciate until they have their own. This Moleskine Ruled Notebook features a bound hardcover with a bookmark, an elastic closure, rounded corners, and 5 available colors to choose from. Add your custom branding and you’ll have the perfect addition to your basics box.
