On-boarding remote employees: 5 Training Mistakes To Avoid

1. Never assume the remote worker knows things you haven’t explicitly spelled out

2. Don’t go extended periods without checking in in-person to reinforce the relationship

3. Don’t discourage communication. Encourage regular and active communication to ensure they are comfortable approaching you

4. Don’t leave the up to their own devices. Schedule regular check-ins to make sure workflow is satisfactory.

5. Don’t silo the employee. Instead introduce them to other members of the team who the can approach and learn from remotely.
