While the fundamentals of onboarding remain the same, there are some differences. Because the new employee will not have handouts or physical paperwork, it is critical to provide a thorough and clear online guide.
Introducing your new employee
The following are the five most critical aspects of onboarding:
Give an orientation. It may be distant, but a general overview of the company is essential for any new hire to hear.
Describe your organization's core values and expectations. This is always essential when embarking on a journey with a new hire. The sooner you establish expectations, the better for both your company and your new employee.
Review job responsibilities. You've probably covered a lot of this during the interview, however, now that they have the job, it is beneficial to go into greater detail about their expectations.
Give them a small project, to begin with. Many new employees are eager to begin working. Instead of forcing them to sit through orientations and company overviews at the start, give them something to chew on right away.
Appoint a mentor. Find a mentor who is in a position similar to the new employees to provide them with someone who can answer their questions and point them in the right direction.
The interview, whether in person or virtual, is still the most important part of the hiring process. It is during this time that you will be able to ask the necessary questions and, ideally, form a bond with the candidate.
