Creating an effective remote onboarding program requires intentional effort to establish community and culture, provide support and connection for new hires, and introduce them to asynchronous work. Companies can foster a sense of belonging by assigning "work buddies" who check in regularly, using live sessions and Zoom breakout rooms to facilitate connections, and delivering small doses of information over time through self-paced lessons or interactive tasks. Regular check-ins with the onboarding team, manager, and company buddy ensure new hires are progressing at the right pace, while asking for feedback helps tailor the program to individual needs. By prioritizing community, culture, and asynchronous learning, companies can create a unique onboarding experience that sets remote employees up for success and fosters a sense of belonging long after onboarding is completed.
