Personalized welcome kit ideas can help you make a great first impression with new employees and set them up for success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/resourcesandtools\/hr-topics\/talent-acquisition\/pages\/new-employee-onboarding-guide.aspx\">onboarding process<\/a> should acclimate, engage and help retain new hires. The impression new employees take away after their first day plays a key role in successfully onboarding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note, that onboarding is not the same as orientation. Orientation covers basic paperwork and tasks for new employees, onboarding is about fully integrating them into the company culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article we\u2019ve rounded up 8 awesome ideas to make a welcome kit that helps new employees feel like part of the team.

Everyone loves stickers for adding to water bottles, laptops and other personal items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the onboarding process logo stickers help new hires engage by self-identifying themselves as part of the team. By sporting their new stickers employees show that they\u2019re proud to be part of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip:<\/em><\/strong><em> Logo stickers are also great for corporate events, handing out to clients and including as freebies in business mailing and shipping. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordering <a href=\"\/custom-printing\/custom-stickers\/\">custom stickers<\/a> through our custom printing service is super easy.

Yes, it is important, but you don\u2019t want juggling a stack of paperwork to be the overwhelming impression that new employees get on their first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/binders?filters=type1_Durable%20Binders~coverType_View\">Durable view binders<\/a> are perfect for storing orientation paperwork. Adding a customized binder to your onboarding welcome kit is something new employees can use right away, and down the road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add some helpful resources that help a new hire integrate with the team. For example, a list of cross-functional team members they should meet and suggested topics to discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With such a list, new hires are encouraged to proactively seek out their new teammates and engage with their expertise. It\u2019s also a great cheat-sheet for remembering names after first-day introductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To customize a binder for your onboarding welcome kit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create an 8.5\u201d by 11\u201d cover sheet to slip in the binder\u2019s view front<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personalize the binder with the employee\u2019s name on the spine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add helpful resources that help new hires to integrate themselves<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Pro Tip: <\/strong>For creating customized binders, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/binderaccessories?filters=type1_Spine%20Inserts\">printable binder spine inserts<\/a>.
