Onboarding Remote Workers

So, you’ve hired a new employee (or 23 of them), and you’re excited to get them up and running. There’s just one problem – they’re working from home, have never met any of the other people on your team, and can only interact with you over the phone or through a computer screen. Which is actually three problems, isn’t it? But that’s where Onboarding Remote Workers comes in. Designed to address the specific challenges of introducing remote workers to your workflow and culture, Onboarding Remote Workers will help ensure that your new hires immediately feel like part of your organization instead of imperfectly attached to it. How will we accomplish this? By showing you how to do a great job, but also by showing you how to do a terrible job. It never hurts to know what to avoid, and that stuff is a whole lot more fun to watch anyway. So get ready to enjoy Onboarding Remote Workers, another training series from The Jeff Havens Company, where we provide serious solutions in a seriously funny way.

Learning objectives:

• Appreciate the importance of a thorough pre-onboarding program to ensure that new hires are ready to go on Day 1
• Develop various strategies for connecting remote workers with your other team members in robust and meaningful ways
• Overcome technological challenges that can derail an otherwise well-prepared onboarding program
