What is « onboarding »?
Onboarding is an essential step in the recruitment of new employees. It is the first step towards their integration into the team, a key moment that defines the rest of the adventure. A successful onboarding puts the new recruit in favourable conditions: it gives him or her the relational, administrative and technical keys to a good start in the job.
It is a human issue, since it adds a member to the professional “family” who can shake up habits. But it is above all a strategic issue: 33% of employees know at the end of their first week whether they will stay with the company in the long term. Hence the importance of not neglecting the welcome of your employees (they will be your first brand ambassadors!).
Trust our experience: for successful onboarding, goodies will give your next recruits a lot of attention.
How to say “welcome” for an onboarding
Saying welcome to an onboarding means first and foremost offering them items that are essential to their daily life in the company: office supplies, stationery, connected objects, coffee mugs and other accessories stamped with the company’s logo. As you can see, onboarding and goodies go hand in hand!
With such attention, the newcomer feels warmly welcomed and integrated into the company. They are ready to invest in their mission!
Offer a welcome Onboard package to your employees
For a good onboarding, the welcome pack is a safe bet. The new employee will be surprised by the attention and will appreciate the personalised goodies that are specifically offered to welcome him/her. His or her sense of belonging to the company will start to develop as soon as he or she arrives.
It is no longer a secret that saying welcome at the onboarding stage is a key to retaining talent. The promotional item then becomes a powerful communication medium to give value to the professional relationship.
