5 Best Welcome Gifts for New Employee

You want to show your new employee that you appreciate having them there and look forward to working with them. More importantly, you want to show them the best of your company and instill a sense of loyalty in them. The best way to do this is with a great new employee gift. In fact, a study by Harvard Business Review actually showed that employees responded to gifts more positively than they responded to bonuses.1 So it’s an even more positive gesture when you get a gift just for walking in on your first day. It’s about recognition, which is why you should beware a gift that feels impersonal or last minute.

Whether it’s college, high school, or even kindergarten, graduation is a big milestone. Make graduation special for your loved ones with a graduation gift basket to brighten their day and show them how proud you are of them!
