So you have a new hire joining the team...now what?! Of course, the paperwork is in order and the training dates are set, but how do you make the onboarding process memorable and impactful? According to an article by sapling, great employee onboarding can improve employee retention by 82%! Ok so that stat sounds great, but unfortunately, 88% of organizations don't onboard well.
So what is a person to do?!?! Well, the first step is to take a deep breath and realize you've got this under control. The second step is to examine your company's core values and build your welcome kit accordingly. There's no better way to welcome a new hire to the team than with a little bit of company swag, especially sustainable, eco-friendly, inclusive swag. Company swag can work double-time for you by making a new employee feel a part of the team and support internal initiatives and core values.
