SO, YOU’VE HIRED VIRTUALLY – TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROCESS FOR NEW TEAM MEMBERS RUNS SMOOTHLY
ENSURE THAT THE CANDIDATE IS AWARE OF THE IMPACT REMOTE WORKING WILL HAVE ON THEIR DELIVERABLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
CHECK WHAT EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THE REMOTE HIRE TO CARRY OUT THEIR DAY TO DAY ROLE. IF COMPANY EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED, ENSURE THAT THIS IS COURIERED PRIOR TO THE START DATE. IF USING THEIR OWN, MAKE SURE IT IS FIT FOR PURPOSE.
ALLOW FOR DELAYS TO THE ONBOARDING PROCESS, EG, THERE MAY BE A SHORTAGE OF EQUIPMENT, IT SUPPORT, HR STAFF TO COMPLETE THE ONBOARDING PROCESS.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LIST OF THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE THE NEW HIRE STARTS, SUCH AS, A WELCOME TO THE TEAM EMAIL / VIDEO, NECESSARY PAPERWORK HAS BEEN SENT OUT.
PREPARE FOR ITEMS TO COVER ON THE FIRST DAY, SUCH AS COMPANY RULES, LOGIN / PASSWORD / SECURITY INFORMATION, TRAINING SCHEDULE ETC.
SCHEDULE MEETINGS AND DIARISE VIDEO MEETING WITH ALL NECESSARY TEAM MEMBERS IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS.
