You offered them the job and they accepted it.&nbsp; Now how do we get that person to stay for the long haul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing I suggest is giving the new hire a call a couple of days before their start date.&nbsp; I am sure they have many questions and this will help them feel at ease.&nbsp; Let them know things like where to park, where they can grab a bite to eat, etc.&nbsp; You do not get a second chance to make a first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then have a welcome strategy.&nbsp; A great idea is to have a bunch of office supplies bundled on their desk with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/all-occasion-cards\/welcome-cards.htm\">welcome card<\/a>.&nbsp; Next, assign this new employee a mentor or buddy.&nbsp; This person should meet the newbie in the lobby and start off with a tour of the building and introductions to the staff.&nbsp; He can show him around, teach him how things work in the office and be there for support and guidance in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Show your new hire that they are welcome and appreciated from before they walk through the front door and continue to make a point of including him in all the activities around the workplace.&nbsp; How your company handles onboarding will leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You have found the perfect candidate for the opening in your company.&nbsp; You offered them the job and&hellip;","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":10368,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[774,981,1292,1293,1296,1302,1305,1306,1316,275],"tags":[352,902,1180],"class_list":{"0":"post-10367","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corporate-greeting-cards","8":"category-greeting-cards","9":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","10":"category-business-insights","11":"category-tips-and-trends","12":"category-welcoming-messages","13":"category-workplace-morale","14":"category-corporate-gifting","15":"category-office-wellness-tips-and-trends","16":"category-greeting-cards-for-business","17":"tag-welcome-cards","18":"tag-welcome-to-the-team","19":"tag-new-hire","20":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Welcoming New Employees - Gallery Connection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/greeting-cards\/welcoming-new-employees\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Welcoming New Employees - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You have found the perfect candidate for the opening in your company.&nbsp;
