On-boarding remote employees: Induction Sessions
Organise induction sessions with key department representatives to give your new employee an introduction to the business, it’s mission and values, it’s offering (for example, your product or service) and key differentiators, alongside administrative inductions to cover need-to-know business information.
The people who needs to onboard your new remote hire and what they need to cover:
Management

HR
covering elements such as the company benefits package, absence policy, equal opportunities or discrimination policies, grievance and disciplinary procedures, health and safety or performance management.
Finance/Compliance
