A new employee welcome pack is more than a gift. It is part of the first impression a company makes. A thoughtful pack helps new staff feel included while reinforcing the company’s brand and culture.
What should a welcome pack do?
A welcome pack should be practical, branded and appropriate for the role. It should give the employee useful items they can use at work, during training or in daily routines.
Useful welcome pack items
- Branded notebook and pen for meetings and onboarding.
- Drinkware for daily use.
- Golf shirt, jacket, cap or uniform item.
- Lanyard or access-related item where relevant.
- Bag or document holder.
- Small desk items or tech accessories.
Make it role-specific
Office staff, site teams, retail staff and field teams may need different products. A site team may need workwear and practical items, while office staff may value desk items, drinkware and apparel.
Branding should be clean and wearable
For staff clothing, branding should look professional and comfortable to wear. Embroidery is often a strong option for golf shirts, jackets and caps. Print methods may work well for campaign or event clothing.
Plan sizes and quantities
For clothing, collect sizes early. Mixed-size orders should be checked carefully so setup fees are grouped correctly where the same logo, method and position are used.
