Employee onboarding has clear objectives: help employees build relationships, understand work expectations, and accustom them to the company culture. However, achieving these goals can be challenging during remote onboarding since you can’t have in-person interactions with your employees. But the process is here to stay! With the surge in remote work during the pandemic, businesses are noting how strategic remote onboarding can increase employee engagement and retention.

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, remote work has become an ever-more popular way of working. And as the next generation of remote workers joins the workforce, how they’re onboarded has become a focal point of discussion. How will they internalize the company’s values remotely? Will they feel like part of the team when working from home? Fortunately, a well-planned virtual onboarding program can address these questions and more.
