What makes a good start?
New team members need information, suitable work equipment and people they can turn to with questions. A planned process helps clarify expectations and put initial tasks into context.
A welcome package can complement that introduction. Its value comes from being connected to a personal welcome and practical support from the team.
How can company sneakers be used in onboarding?
If sneakers are planned as a gift, first establish the person's style preferences and shoe size. Plan the required date early and discuss whether later orders for future starters will be possible.
Regular SLICKZ projects can start from one pair, subject to model availability and technical feasibility. That makes it possible to enquire about an individual welcome gift without needing a large team order.
FAQ
When should I enquire about sneakers as a welcome gift?
As soon as the start date and requirement are reasonably clear. Alongside the project-specific lead time, allow time to agree the model, design and sizes and to obtain the necessary approvals.
