OSHA-ok: All-in-One Onboarding Kit Ideas That Cover Compliance (and Your New Hires)

The best way to onboard new employees in a compliance-first company is to hand the Safety Handbook along with a “Welcome to the team!” kit they’ll want to use (and maybe even post about on their socials). No one enjoys reading through the company handbook, but, getting a heavy-duty insulated tumbler and weather-ready employee jacket can make the boring part feel less so.

Moreover, industries like Logistics or Manufacturing, that are generally known for high employee turnover, should consider having the right onboarding kit to directly invest in their retention.

The day-to-day of your warehouse workers often looks like this:

  • Long shifts sometimes spanning to 12-hour days
  • Exposure to the elements
  • Use of heavy-equipment
  • Staggered breaks
  • Doing physically demanding tasks

Employees don’t stay in a company because of a logo-decorated water bottle (regardless of how nice it is). But, it can set the tone for how a business treats and views its employees. A cheap and disposable item sends plenty of negative signals that can even make them have second thoughts about their new job. On the other hand, a nicely packaged welcome kit with stuff that are actually useful and durable, says they’re off to a good start.

Here are onboarding items you can bundle with your OSHA handbook:

Apparel, bags, drinkware, and safety tools as goods for a welcome kit make the most sense. Add intentionality by picking apparel that also promotes worker safety; as well as lifetime-grade drinkware they can use, long after they stay in the company.
