You've reviewed resumes, conducted interviews and selected the best candidate for the position. You've scheduled their first day and it's time for the company to prepare a warm welcome to their employee with employee onboarding kit. Your onboarding kit should motivate and show how excited you are to have them on the team. 

Try to put yourself in their shoes. They nailed the interview and ready to start in their new position. Most likely they're nervous and excited on the first day.  It's never fun being the new kid in the office. You can help their first day go a bit smoother by having a nicely prepared new employee onboarding kit on their desk and an excited team to help them get settled in.

An Awesome Employee Onboarding Kit = Brand Awareness points

A new employee onboarding kit is a great way to increase brand awareness. People share just about anything on social media. A well crafted onboarding kit is sure to be shared on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, with family and friends. An onboarding kit can open the door for conversations within their network and help fill your next vacant position. Make this well prepared onboarding kit an opportunity to spread the word about the company's values, culture, how great the company is and what cool gifts you have to offer.

4. Just a personal touch

The best gift in their onboarding kit with a personal touch just may make their first day on the job. Have the team, a supervisor or the CEO write a letter welcoming the employee to the team. This will be sure to put a simile on their face. Make this an opportunity to show your company's culture and get other employees input about what they can tell the new guy to get excited for.

This is perfect when you can come in and save the day. For those days we forget to pack a lunch for work, this is great opportunity for an employee to use a gift card from their onboarding kit. Opt for a gift card that can be redeemed at a local restaurant so that if the employee is new to the area, they can explore a new food spot.
