Back to the office: eco-friendly welcome packs for September

September is the «new January» in the Spanish corporate world. After the summer break, teams come back with renewed energy, and many companies use the moment to bring in new hires, relaunch projects and kick off the final quarter of the year with momentum.

A well-designed welcome pack is one of the most effective employer branding tools you have. It’s the first thing a new employee receives and experiences, and it sets the tone for their whole relationship with the company. Making it eco-friendly multiplies the message.

Why invest in welcome packs

The numbers don’t lie:

• 69% of employees are more likely to stay for 3 years if they get a good onboarding experience (SHRM).
• 83% of professionals share their onboarding experience on social media when it’s a positive one.
• A quality welcome pack creates a first impression that lasts up to 12 months.

What goes into the perfect eco welcome pack

The basics: everyday products

• 500 ml stainless steel bottle engraved with the company logo. The product that generates the most impact through everyday use.
• Ceramic or bamboo mug for the desk. Every coffee with your brand on it.
• A5 recycled paper notebook with kraft card covers and the logo on the front.
• Bamboo pen to match the notebook.

The extras: products that make the difference

• Recycled PET backpack or bag for the commute.
• Organic cotton T-shirt with an appealing design (not just the logo) that the employee will actually want to wear.
• Recycled PET lanyard for the ID badge.
• Wood or bamboo USB drive with welcome documents and internal guides.

The final touch: storytelling

• Welcome card on recycled paper with a message from the CEO or the direct team.
• Impact sheet detailing the pack’s sustainable materials and its positive environmental impact.

The social media impact

A well-presented welcome pack generates valuable organic content. Encourage new employees to share their unboxing on LinkedIn with a company hashtag. It’s free, authentic employer branding — the best kind of advertising.
