Virtual onboarding is when all of an organization’s onboarding processes are accessible digitally. Virtual onboarding can include filling out paperwork in an online portal before your first day of work, or can include virtual trainings that help new hires understand an organization’s culture. Even if an institution wants their employees to be onboarded in person, it’s important to have all the materials accessible in a digital platform when policies about in-person work can shift at a moment’s notice.
