onboarding gifts
Welcome new hires with personalized, experiential gifts.
A fun and scalable way to celebrate new employees during onboarding.
Build employee connection from day one through shared experiences.
Building community at a new company is challenging, and it’s gotten even harder since we’ve migrated to remote and hybrid teams. New hires want to feel connected to your company—and it starts with their manager and coworkers. We can’t gather at the water cooler, so how do we form new bonds? What if your onboarding employee gifts could foster authentic connections?
