Make the first day the one they tell people about.
A Welcome RewardsCard in the onboarding pack tells a new hire they made the right choice before lunch on day one. Loaded with local brands, delivered with a personal message.
Why it matters
The first week of employment is when new hires decide whether they made the right choice. Companies that invest in a deliberate welcome — not just a laptop and a Zoom link — see significantly lower 90-day attrition. A Welcome RewardsCard is a concrete, tangible signal that the company prepared for their arrival. It's not a gimmick; it's the first proof that the culture they were sold in the interview is the culture they actually joined.
How it works
From dashboard to inbox in under 2 minutes.
Connect to your onboarding flow
Trigger welcome cards automatically when a new hire is added to your HRIS, or send manually from the dashboard on day one.
Personalise the message
Add the manager's name, the role, and a message that feels like it came from a human. Templates keep it fast; personalisation makes it land.
They spend it locally
Whether they're in Lagos, Nairobi, Cairo or Johannesburg, the card is loaded with brands they actually use. No awkward gift sets. No irrelevant vouchers.

What to say when you send it
New Hire Welcome RewardsCard
Sample message
“Welcome! We are genuinely excited you're here. The team has been looking forward to having you, and this card is a small way of saying: we prepared for your arrival. Pick whatever you want — consider it a 'settle in' gift from all of us. We can't wait to see what we build together.”
Companies with a structured onboarding experience improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%. A Welcome RewardsCard is one of the highest-signal, lowest-cost additions to any onboarding programme — it confirms the culture promise before the first team meeting.
In competitive talent markets like Lagos, Nairobi, and Johannesburg, new hires typically have multiple offers. The onboarding experience in the first 30 days is what determines whether they stay past the probation period. A personalised welcome recognition is a direct investment in retention.
