Employee welcome kit: what to put in it
A simple way to build a welcome kit that new staff use from the first day, at three budget levels.
A welcome kit tells a new employee that the company was ready for them. It does not need to be expensive. It needs to be useful on the first day and to look like one set, not a handful of unrelated items.
The basic kit
A notebook, a pen and a bottle or mug. These three are used at the desk from the first morning. Keep them in one colour and put the same logo, in the same position, on each.
The complete kit
Add a bag to carry it all, a lanyard or card holder for the access card, and a wireless charger or power bank. A backpack or tote also solves the question of how to hand the kit over.
The premium kit
Start from a ready gift set, where the notebook, pen and drinkware already match and come in a presentation box. Add a quality backpack and a piece of apparel in the right size.
Three rules that keep it consistent
- One colour family across all items
- One logo version, sized to suit the smallest item
- Order a few extra kits, so a new joiner next month receives the same one
Ordering for a team that keeps growing
Because minimum quantities apply to each product, it is usually better to order kits for the next several months at once than to order a few pieces every time someone joins. The price per piece is lower at the higher quantity too.
Where to start
See the gift sets, then add notebooks, water bottles, backpacks and lanyards and badges. Add everything to the cart and send it as a quote request if you want us to check the combination for you.
