Onboarding is the cycle that a new employee goes through to become familiar with their new job and company. Onboarding integrates new hires into the organisation and ensures they have the foundational knowledge they need to perform in their role.
Onboarding remote employees can be challenging, but the goals remain the same as if they were in the office. We suggest introducing communication channels, creating a sense of camaraderie, and providing role clarity as early as possible. Online onboarding software is also a great way to deliver essential training to new hires that they can complete from virtually anywhere.
Preboarding is the period before a new hire’s first day on the job. This is a great time to send them essential paperwork, helpful tips like what their first day will look like, and other essential information they need to know.
