What should go in a new joinee welcome kit?

Prerna Taneja · 2 min read

A good new joinee welcome kit has a diary and pen, a bottle or travel mug, one desk item, something personalised with the employee's name, and a welcome note from the manager. The Zappy Box's Corporate Essentials hamper covers most of this, and onboarding kits can be branded from 50 units.

Welcome kit checklist:

Item Why
Hardbound diary and pen Used from the first week
Bottle, tumbler or travel mug Daily use; good place for a small logo
Desk item (sticky notes, organiser) Settles them into their workspace
Personalised item with their name Makes the kit feel like theirs
Welcome note from the manager The part people remember most
Snack or treat A small first-day welcome

The Corporate Essentials hamper includes a hardbound diary, sticky notes, a pencil, a metallic pen, a 400 ml travel mug and a custom greeting card. 

Ideas by budget:

Budget Kit
Under ₹1,500 Diary, pen, card
₹1,500–₹2,500 Corporate Essentials-style kit
