5. To be honest, two
years into the new
normal, remote and
hybrid workspaces
are here to stay.
We must embrace
online recruitment
and remote
onboarding.

6. Let us look at
some of the
benefits and
drawbacks of
remote
onboarding.

7. Why We Heart It

8. 1. Strong Visual Connect
Virtual connections vis-a-vis video
calls or online chats encourage
informal conversations.
Remote meetings and virtual events
can be used for scheduled interactions.

9. 2. Low Cost of Onboarding
Save costs spent on:
 Advertising
 In-person Interviews
 Travel
Software solutions streamline the
onboarding process and eliminate
repetitive tasks.

10. 3. Don’t Eliminate the Classroom Experience
Digital learning solutions such as Virtual
Instructor-led Training (VILT),
Microlearning, and Adaptive Learning
speed up remote onboarding.
VILT ensures new hires get to meet, bond,
and work with their team – from the safety
of their homes.

11. Why We Hesitate

12. 1. Differences in Time Zones
Communication and coordination can
be a major challenge with teams working
in different time zones.
Potential issues from this include lack of
collaboration, delays, and conflicts.

13. 2. The Long Wait...
Many employees are waiting to return to the
brick-and-mortar work environment, and
remote onboarding processes could be
counter-productive.

14. 3. Reduced Accessibility
While digital tools can duplicate the
in-person learning environment,
there’s no substitute for being able
to stroll over to a colleague's
workstation for:
 Updates
 Guidance
 Comments

15. Corporate L&D has a lot to deal with, apart from onboarding.
