A business can’t be great without a great team

Savvy business owners understand that an investment in employee training and onboarding does more than increase the value of a company. It creates a bond between workers that lays the groundwork for real teamwork to develop.

Employees who feel that they are part of a tightly knit team are better positioned to contribute to both business success and office culture.

 

The team at Regents Remote Services has developed an approach to remote onboarding that creates a rewarding work environment for employees and maximizes their contribution.

Investing in employees through quality training and purposeful onboarding is how you form a great  team.

Avoid rushing the remote onboarding process

Different organizations have different needs and constraints when it comes to onboarding, but we believe the onboarding process should take a least one week.

Give your business and your new employee the luxury of time for onboarding. This will enable better team-building and give the potential of new employees time to flourish.

The general onboarding plan promoted by Regents takes two weeks. We consider this to be adequate in most situations, but if your organization can spend three weeks onboarding new employee(s), even better.

Remote onboarding takes planning and preparation

Our success with remote assistants comes down to how we treat people.
Employees need to be treated like human beings. More importantly, they need to be treated like they are worth your investment.

An effective remote onboarding process has many components. Regents utilize proven processes, preparation, and a curriculum that reinforces what is important to the new employee as well as the business. Our best practices include:

  • Write the new employee a “welcome to the team” email before their first day in the office.
  • Build your onboarding curriculum on the foundation of “Repeat, Reinforce, Build Upon.”
  • Plan to build a connection between their remote work and your local life and culture.
The remote worker is not an experiment anymore, and many businesses rely on them to operate smoothly. To learn about our remote onboarding process in detail, download our ebook Mastering Remote Recruitment: Onboarding Digital Assistants.
