Onboarding boxes. What is that actually?
In today's competitive business world, attracting and retaining skilled and committed employees is critical. One way to achieve this is to utilise onboarding boxes as part of your employer branding strategy. Onboarding boxes, also known as welcome boxes, are personalised employee gifts that are presented to new employees when they arrive at the company. These boxes are designed to make new employees feel valued and welcome while promoting the company culture.
How to make your onboarding a success.
A successful onboarding box should contain both practical and personal elements to give new employees the feeling that they are valued. Possible contents for a welcome box could be
- Company logo and colours
- Personalised welcome letters
- Useful information about the company and the department
- Vouchers for local shops or restaurants
- Company merchandise such as T-shirts, coffee mugs or pens
- Small, personal gifts that correspond to the employee's hobbies or interests
Strengthening a welcoming culture.
Employer branding is the process by which a company improves its reputation as an employer in order to attract and retain talented employees. Onboarding boxes can play a crucial role in this process by positively influencing new employees while strengthening the company's image. By showing new employees that you care about their well-being and integration into the organisation, you promote a positive company culture and improve employee retention.
