Remote New Hire Onboarding Plan

Order and prepare a welcome package to be delivered to the new hire's address. Include company swag (t-shirt, mug, etc.), essential documents, and a personalized welcome letter from the CEO.

Ensure all necessary accounts (email, project management tools, communication platforms) are set up and ready to use. Arrange for any required hardware to be delivered.

Host a virtual welcome meeting with the entire team. Introduce the new hire, share their background and what they’ll be working on. Encourage team members to introduce themselves as well.

Schedule a one-on-one meeting between the new hire and their direct manager to discuss roles, expectations, and answer any questions.

Organize short, informal virtual coffee chats with a few team members each day. This helps build personal connections within the team.

Begin scheduled training sessions to familiarize the new hire with company processes, tools, and policies. Keep sessions interactive and engaging.

End the week with a check-in meeting to discuss the new hire's first week, gather feedback, and address any concerns or questions they may have.

Organize a casual virtual event (e.g., trivia night, online game) to end the first week on a high note and strengthen team bonds.
