First impressions matter, especially when welcoming new team members. That’s why more companies are leaning into thoughtful, automated gifting programs to create meaningful connections before day one. This is the basis for a new gifting service from 1-800-Flowers.
The company says it recently partnered with a “forward-thinking client to launch a New Hire Gift Program with 1-800-Flowers.com. Every Friday, new hires receive a beautifully curated welcome basket delivered to their doorstep, a few days before they even step into the (virtual or physical) office. The impact? Immediate,” the company says. 1-800-Flowers has automated the process so that it’s essentially seamless for the human resources department.
Says the announcement, “This kind of welcome sets the tone by communicating that you’re valued, you’re expected, and you are part of something special. It also boosts new hire excitement, improves retention and engagement, and conveniently and efficiently automates the process with zero hassle for human resources.”
