Virtual Human Resources: Onboarding New Employees

Welcoming new employees to your company is always a happy occasion, but how do you offer a warm welcome in a remote-only work environment? Research tells us that how an employee begins their work has a lot to do with how quickly they adapt and how long they'll stay committed to their role. In a remote work world, this is even more important, because the onboarding process may be longer, and the employee will naturally be less connected to their teammates than those who are in office. But there are ways to make the remote onboarding experience a positive one, and that's what we'll cover in this course. We'll go over what to do on their first day, determining their equipment and administrative needs, establishing social connections, and more.
