Branded Apparel

If you’re looking to create a sense of unity and cohesiveness, branded apparel serves as a fantastic addition to any onboarding kit for several reasons. Branded apparel creates unity and fosters a sense of belonging among new employees by aligning them with the company’s identity from day one. Branded clothing not only creates a professional and cohesive look, but it instills confidence in employees as they represent the company.

Additionally, it can be a significant part of your advertising strategy, spreading brand awareness both within and outside the organization as employees wear their branded gear in various settings. In our experience, branded apparel can serve as a practical reminder of the company’s values, culture, and goals, reinforcing them in the minds of new hires as they integrate into the team. We believe, including branded apparel in an onboarding kit not only enhances the employee experience but also contributes to building a strong and recognizable corporate identity.

 

Some of our go to items for branded apparel include, but aren’t limited to, headwear, shirts/sweaters & coats/jackets.

Desk Accessories

Thinking about including desk accessories in an onboarding kit? We totally agree! Those starting a new job tend to take notes and providing practical tools, like writing utensils and notepads for new employees, ensures they have everything they need to hit the ground running in their new role. Items like branded pens and notebooks to personalized mousepads, not only facilitate productivity but also cultivate a sense of belonging and appreciation within the company. Desk accessories bearing the company logo serve as subtle reminders of the organization’s identity and values, reinforcing brand awareness among employees and visitors alike. Additionally, these personalized touches can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the workspace, making it feel more welcoming and conducive to productivity. We are firm believers that desk accessories included in an onboarding kit contributes to a smoother transition for new hires while also promoting brand visibility and fostering a positive company culture.

 

For some added flair, consider including some company Swag items such as stickers, magnets, or keychains. These small, fun items can help employees show their pride in the company and spark conversations.

Wellness Items

Offering wellness items demonstrates that an employer cares about the well-being of their employees. This can lead to higher levels of employee engagement, as workers feel valued and supported by their organization. Moreover, it can contribute to higher employee retention rates, as individuals are more likely to stay with employers who prioritize their health and well-being. Fun wellness items to consider in your onboarding package could be a small office game or puzzle that new employees can enjoy during breaks or team-building activities. It can be a stress reliever and an opportunity for them to connect with colleagues. Some other items to include could be a personalized water bottle, yoga mat, candle or weighted blanket.

 

In crafting your onboarding kit, don’t forget to infuse it with the essence of your company’s culture, values, and the unique interests of your new employees. From quirky stress-relief toys to practical ergonomic gadgets, these fun items are more than just office supplies—they’re the building blocks of a vibrant workplace community. By adding a touch of personality to your onboarding process, you’re not only making a positive first impression but also laying the groundwork for a journey filled with camaraderie, creativity, and success. So, go ahead, sprinkle some joy into your onboarding kits, and watch as they ignite smiles, boost morale, and set the stage for an unforgettable journey ahead. Let the adventure begin!
