The current onboarding process isn’t cutting it anymore for some companies.

With the push for remote working that has been occurring for the past year and a half, employers need to recreate the process in order to fit the new landscape of working.

When a new employee is working within an office, it’s not hard to be motivated and stay on track when surrounded by other workers.

Yet starting a new job while at home can feel like you’re stranded, away from the help you need yet trying to stay afloat.

The employer, as well as fellow coworkers, should make a concerted effort to make sure that the new hire is properly up to speed with their new position.

Without a physical proximity to coworkers, it can be difficult for new employees to get to know their teammates.

It’s helpful to set up introduction meetings with people with whom a new hire will be working to ease them into the environment.
