We spoke with\u00a0Alex Asaad<\/strong>, Director, Talent Acquisition and\u00a0Beatriz Albuquerque<\/strong>, HR Manager who are a core part of Lumine Group\u2019s HR team to learn more about how organization\u2019s can help set employees up for success. Here are 8 great tips that can help with the virtual onboarding process.<\/p>\n Prior to starting a new role, it is important that new hires are introduced\u00a0to direct managers, HRBP,\u00a0and IT specialists to set up the\u00a0tools needed to do the job, such as email, equipment, benefits, payroll and so on. Make new hires feel welcomed by providing them with a company welcome kit and personalized swag.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Make the new hire feel included by inviting them to upcoming social company events or team outings prior\u00a0to their joining date. Mingling with future teammates and colleagues can make them feel comfortable.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Check-in with new employees to ensure they have everything they need and set up expectations for who to talk to on their first day. Help calm their nerves by preparing them for what to expect.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Once onboarding begins, introduce a 30-60-90-day plan with detailed expectations, goals, stakeholders, and check-in points. This allows new hires to track their progress and stay on top of goals.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Make proper introductions with\u00a0peers, clients, and stakeholders and assign a mentor or \u201cwork buddy.\u201d It is essential to get to know your team and learn more about their roles and responsibilities.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Provide all the appropriate tools, training and reading materials required for the new employee to execute day-to-day activities and tasks.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Provide a virtual safe space for ongoing questions, inquiries, and training, such as adding them to a team\u2019s channel where they can ask questions or advice from their immediate team.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Check-in weekly for the first month, through a virtual call and provide continuous feedback on progress. Follow up at the 90-day mark to assess progress and challenges in their current role.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Studies show organizations that make employees feel heard and valued are more likely to see better retention rates, productivity, and customer experiences. By implementing an effective virtual onboarding process, you\u2019re kickstarting a great employee-employer relationship, and setting the tone for an engaged and effective workforce.<\/p>\n<\/h1>\n
