25 Essential Products Every New Hire Welcome Kit Should Include

I remember my first “real” job. I was beyond excited to not only have a job but motivated for a new challenge. I received a few welcome emails and was grateful to have a branded polo on my desk when I showed up on the first day. The experience was fine, not having anything to compare it to.

My roommate and good friend received his first job with a small local tech company at the same time. He was just excited as I was to start making money. A week before he started a huge shipment was delivered to our house. He opened it up and it spued branded swag. It seemed like each product he pulled out was more inspiring than the one before. Proud and excited he shared his welcome gift with as many as he could. It made my email and polo seem just a little less cool.

Now that I’m in the marketing and branding world, I recall my friend’s welcome kit experience each time our team takes on a project. His feeling of excitement and acceptance, full of emotion, is unforgettable. Our team works hard to give that same feeling to all of our customers and their employees.

To showcase ideas, we’ve assembled a list of 25 essential items, perfect for every welcome kit no matter what the budget. We then go on share examples of well-crafted onboarding kits for inspiration and possibilities from brands like Nike, Canva, Dropbox, Vimeo, and many others.

Take inspiration and when ready, let the ScreenBroidery team handcraft an unforgettable experience for your growing team.
