8 New Hire Welcome Packet Ideas

A hand-written welcome letter is a nice touch to help your new hire feel welcome.

1 Welcome Letter

2 Employee Handbook 

No hiring packet would be complete without an Employee Handbook. Use your Handbook to introduce your employee to processes, practices, and behaviors that are expected at your company.

3 Employee Information Form

This form can be as simple or complex as you’d like to make it. Outside of standard information, this is a great opportunity to gather any information that can be used by other departments in your organization, such as obtaining their favorite type of candy.

4 Financial Forms

This is probably the area that both new hires and employers want to get settled the most. Gathering the new hire’s information, voided check, and required signatures in new hire packet forms will get you moving in the right direction as soon as possible.

5 Compensation and Benefits Information

Beyond getting direct deposit set up, learning about company benefits is probably the second most important topic in new hires’ minds.

6 Emergency Contact Information

If something severe were to happen to your new hire, it is critical to make their emergency contacts know. Be sure to include this form in the process so that if the unimaginable does happen, you’ve got an action plan.

7 Company Directory

Be sure to both introduce your new hire to people they will be working with and provide a directory of people with contact information for their department in larger companies or the entire company in smaller organizations.

8 Required Uniforms

If your new employees will be required to use company-provided uniforms, be sure to either have enough sizes on hand to be able to accommodate any new hires.

Welcome your new employees right.
