Guide to Common New Hire Gifts!
When welcoming new hires, it is crucial and thoughtful to provide gifts that make them feel welcomed, valued, and excited about joining the team. Here are some common and appreciated new hire gifts:
Welcome kit
This kit can include essentials such as company branded merchandise, office supplies, gourmet snacks, and a personalized welcome note from the team.
Tech accessories
A new hire may not yet be adapted to a modern, let alone their new team's work environment. A practical and thoughtful gift could be tech accessories such as USB drives, wireless chargers, laptop sleeves, a mouse pad, and many other practical technology gadgets.
Onboarding Guide
Being a new member to a team can be stressful and scary. Provide a comprehensive handbook outlining company policies, and helpful tips for navigating the workplace. This book can also include tips on professional development, encouraging the new hire to expand their knowledge and skills.
Coffee or Tea Gift Basket
A gift basket with products such as gourmet coffee, tea selections, and mugs/tumblers can cater to the new hire’s taste and offer a comforting touch in their new workspace.
These gifts help new hires feel welcomed and valued, but also align with, and encourage the company’s culture and value set. These thoughtful gifts accomplish setting a positive tone for their integration into the team.
