ONBOARDING: When introducing new employees into an organization, it’s important to instill in them a sense of pride in their new affiliation and welcome them to the team. As a welcome gift, we created an employee onboarding kit. The kit included a business bag, a travel coffee mug and a writing journal. The journal featured the corporate mission statement decorated on the inside cover and an insert that communicated their 5-year corporate strategic plan. TRAINING: Training has also been proven to increase job satisfaction and motivation for workers. It also increases employee retention when the training reinforces the value of the employee. Associates want to feel that the job they do is important to the success of the company and that the company is investing time and money in them to develop knowledge and skills. To help support their training program, employees received a padfolio which included the syllabus for the training exercise as well as a writing instrument. Earbuds were also provided for use during the online portion of the program. RETENTION: Studies show that retaining employees leads to stronger teams, better morale and improved performance resulting in significant cost savings. This program consisted of celebrating employee and corporate anniversaries. Each year, the company’s anniversary is celebrated with a commemorative gift, including electronic gifts such as bluetooth speakers, headphones, virtual reality glasses and drones. The employee anniversary was also recognized with a $100 gift card to redeem at their company store. The tech industry is highly competitive and the battle amongst employers for top tech talent is intensifying. Therefore, it is critical for employers to successfully onboard and retain its employees. We worked with a large tech company and identified ways to facilitate engagement, improve morale and enable employees to be more efficient throughout the work day.
