  • Last year, we purchased a Kudoboard to start a company wide employee engagement. We … used it for a month to collect feedback from our employees. The reviews we received were amazing and the board continues to be one of our top products. We keep it in all of our offices and our customers love it.

Treating your employees right is vital to your company culture—and it starts before they even sign the offer letter. Welcoming a new employee with warm messages from their team eases those first day jitters, and can even encourage candidates to accept an offer letter.

Better than a boring welcome email

Logging into your brand new email to an empty inbox is a bit depressing. Instead, imagine logging in to find an online welcome card filled with messages from all of your new teammates. It’s useful for your existing employees, who will consciously adapt to a new coworker, but also for the new employee who may be a little hesitant on their first day. Employee appreciation starts on day one.
