It can be the difference between a positive experience \u2013 or a not-so-positive one. While this applies to many things in life, it\u2019s especially true in the workplace. They\u2019re not lying when they say <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you never get a second chance to make a first impression.<\/span><\/i>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put yourself in the shoes of a new hire and picture this:\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve made the difficult decision to leave a company you love for an opportunity you just couldn\u2019t say no to. After um-ing and ah-ing, you\u2019ve signed along the dotted line and given your notice to your current employer. You\u2019re feeling optimistic based on everything they told you in the interview, and you\u2019re ready to hit the ground running. But, when the first day rolls around, it goes one of two ways\u2026<\/span>\n<h2 id=\"new-employee-scenario-one\">New employee scenario one<\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re sent a welcome pack prior to starting with everything you need for your first day. Tech set up, note pads, a note from the CEO, induction schedule, cool merch, healthy snacks \u2013 it\u2019s the whole kit and kaboodle. You\u2019re prepared, and what\u2019s more important, you feel like you\u2019re set up to succeed. You\u2019re confident you\u2019ve made the right career move.<\/span>\n<h2 id=\"new-employee-scenario-two\">New employee scenario two<\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the first day on the job and you\u2019ve had minimal contact with your new employer. There\u2019s no welcome pack, they haven\u2019t ordered your laptop or organised anything to make you feel included on your first day. You spend the first few days feeling awkward, lost and questioning if you\u2019ve made the right choice.<\/span>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"woman saying 'i know what i want'\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/i-know-what-i-want-gif.gif\" width=\"480\"\/>\n<em>We know what scenario we prefer\u2026<\/em>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reality is, an impressive onboarding experience will be remembered long after induction has finished. It can set the tone for a great employee experience or one that leaves your new hire filled with serious doubts, questioning if they\u2019ve made the right decision.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are many things to consider in an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/employee-induction-onboarding-checklist-template\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">onboarding plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, levelling up your welcome pack is definitely one area you can\u2019t afford to miss. We\u2019ll show you how to take your welcome pack to the next level so your new hires are confident your company is where they\u2019re meant to be.<\/span>\n<h2 id=\"what-should-be-included-in-a-welcome-pack-for-new-employees\">What should be included in a welcome pack for new employees?<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"\"><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"1-a-welcome-note-from-the-line-manager-and-ceo\">1. A welcome note from the line manager and CEO<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to make sure that whoever is joining your team feels comfortable and included. One of the main people to kick start the warm reception is the line manager, so try to include a personalised note from them in the gift box you send out. This can be as simple as, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Welcome to the team. We can\u2019t wait to have you on board. We\u2019re so excited to see how your contribution will help us on our journey\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking to add an extra personal touch, have your CEO write a handwritten joining letter that can be photocopied and placed into welcome packs. It\u2019s things like this that can make the world of difference and ease those first day jitters.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"2-employee-handbook\">2. Employee handbook<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s something about a physical handbook that hits differently. These days, everything is digital \u2013 including your employee handbook. If you want to have your new team members feel excited and inspired from day one, ask your designer to jazz up the employee handbook, send it off to the printers and add it to your new employee greeting kits. Be sure to include your company values in the handbook and showcase your company culture!<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"3-a-sweet-tech-setup\">3. A sweet tech setup<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re working or not, there\u2019s nothing more exciting than opening a new piece of tech. Laptops, adaptors, monitors, chargers, headphones and accessories all need to be considered, and handed over to your new hire. If you encourage remote working, ensure they have everything they need to be set up for success at home. It will make your employees feel motivated from the word go.<\/span>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"woman says 'this is exciting'\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/this-is-exciting.gif\" width=\"600\"\/>\n<em>When your new hire opens their welcome pack.<\/em>\n<h3 id=\"4-funky-company-merch\">4. Funky company merch<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone loves branded company swag. It\u2019s a simple fact. So why not give the people what they want?\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-shirts, jumpers, tote bags, socks, coffee mugs, stickers, hats and more \u2013 nothing says we\u2019re happy to have you on the team like a big box of goodies that scream \u201cone of us\u201d.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company merch doesn\u2019t only cheer up your employees, it\u2019s also a great way to boost your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/employer-branding\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employer brand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That t-shirt you\u2019ve included might just become their favourite tee they wear everywhere. And when your company name and branding is out in the big world, it\u2019s increasing brand awareness and could just lead to a neat sale or closed deal \u2013 and who doesn\u2019t want that!<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our advice? Add merch with your company logo to your new employee joining kit, pronto.<\/span>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"gif of employees dancing\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/new-merch-dance.gif\" width=\"480\"\/>\n<em>When there\u2019s new merch in the new hire welcome kit<\/em>\n<h3 id=\"5-high-quality-snacks\">5. High quality snacks<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing ruins an onboarding process like the afternoon slump, the best way to beat this? Snacks!\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No welcome pack is complete without some delicious treats to see your new hire through their first week. Opt for a selection of sweet and savoury treats, to see off both those salt and sugar cravings.\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust us, they\u2019ll love the gesture!<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"6-notebook-and-pens\">6. Notebook and pens<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is always so much information to take in when starting a new job, and it can be difficult to remember everything. We recommend you set new employees up for success by providing office supplies for them to keep their notes.\u00a0<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One place \u2013 all of your new employees\u2019 notes and ideas \u2013 it couldn\u2019t be easier! Having this will also make it possible to revert back and find notes they took during their initial weeks at the company.<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"7-water-bottle\">7. Water bottle<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydrated employees = more productive employees. Include a water bottle in your new hire gift box, and you\u2019ll reap the benefits.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, you\u2019ll also help reduce single-use plastic in the long run. Functional and eco-friendly? It\u2019s a no-brainer item to include in your joining package.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-size: 2.25rem; letter-spacing: -0.0125rem;\">8. A card with your social media handles<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spread the word, share the joy, and get your new employees excited about following your brand on social media. Ask your designer to create a small card with all of your social media handles and include it in your new employee gift box.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage them to engage with content and share content with their own networks \u2013 your marketing team will love you for it!<\/span>\n<h3 id=\"9-first-day-paperwork-and-policies\">9. First day paperwork and policies<\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New employee formalities are on the top of every HR managers to-do list. Ensure everything is completed, so they\u2019re ready to dive in head-first. Include all paperwork, policies and contracts in your new employee welcome kit, and you\u2019ll show that you\u2019re organised and excited to have them join the team.<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that creating your onboarding and induction program can be a time-consuming process.
