Common Questions About Welcome Gifts for New Employees

What are some welcome gift ideas for new employees and onboarding kits?
Tumblers with the company name are the onboarding staple because they sit on the new desk from day one. Journals get opened at the first meeting. Backpacks with the logo carry a laptop to the office and to the weekend. Jackets with the brand get worn all season. Power banks ride in every bag and solve a daily problem. Bluetooth speakers get used at home and keep the company name in the room. Pick several, request free samples, and they arrive so the HR team or the office manager can build the welcome kit and test what makes the first day memorable.

Can we get welcome gift samples before HR finalizes the onboarding package?
Yes. Add several to your sample basket, or call 800.378.6376, and a set ships to the office. Welcome gifts set the tone for a new hire's entire experience, so zipping the jacket, clicking the pen and filling the tumbler in person is how the HR manager or the onboarding coordinator picks what makes the kit feel like a real welcome and not a bag of leftovers.

What organizations order welcome gifts for new employees?
Corporate HR departments, tech companies, startups, law firms, hospitals, universities, government agencies and any organization with an onboarding program that wants new hires to feel like they belong from day one.

How far ahead should we order for onboarding kits?
Plan for two to three weeks of production after art approval. Companies with rolling start dates benefit from keeping a stock order ahead so kits are ready when the new hire arrives. Call 800.378.6376 to confirm timing.
