WHAT GOES IN

Build the kit around onboarding goals, not leftover inventory.

  • A merch expert curates items that are useful, wearable and culture-building: apparel, drinkware, a notebook, a tech accessory, a welcome card
  • Standardize one kit across the company or tailor versions by department, role or location
  • Custom boxes, tape and inserts turn the unboxing into the first memorable moment

SIZES AND ADDRESSES

No spreadsheets. New hires pick their size and enter their address.

  • Send a branded Giveaway link; the new hire chooses sizes and ships the kit to themselves
  • Kits live in your Swag Pro store too, so HR can send one in a few clicks
  • Real-time shipping updates for you and the new hire

THE 7 WELCOME KIT CHALLENGES

Every challenge in the guide, solved by one program.

Curation and budget

Expert sourcing and a business case for quality items: teams spending $100 or more per hire report far higher confidence.

Quantity and sizing

Move from bulk guesses to on-demand fulfillment from stored inventory. Employees pick their own size.

One vendor, one process

Sourcing, kitting, storage, shipping and tracking through a single platform and a single point of contact.

Let's unpack it

What should a new hire welcome kit include?

A mix of useful, wearable and culture-building items: branded apparel, drinkware, a notebook or journal, a tech accessory and a welcome card from leadership. Build the kit around onboarding goals rather than products on hand.

How do we get kits to remote employees before their first day?

Store kits in the Swag Pro warehouse, send a Giveaway link or trigger the send from your HRIS, and ship direct to the new hire with delivery tracking. Only half of companies deliver kits before the start date today.

Can kits differ by department or role?

Yes. Standardize a core kit and add versions for sales, engineering or leadership, or by location. Each version is its own kit in your store.

How do we know the kit is working?

Track shipments and redemptions in Swag Pro and pair them with 30-day new hire surveys and 90-day retention. HR teams that measure onboarding impact are far more confident in their kits.

How long does it take to launch?

Kits built from items already in your inventory are ready in a day or two. New items or a custom box and insert take about 8 to 10 weeks, so plan the first run ahead of hiring waves.

READY TO SCALE YOUR WELCOME KITS?

A great first day. Every time.

Swag Pro turns welcome kits from a manual, bumpy process into a repeatable onboarding program. Book a demo and a swag specialist will bring kit ideas, pricing and a rollout plan for your hiring volume.
