How to Use a Remote Onboarding Template

Onboarding a remote employee is a different process than onboarding an in-office employee. The following steps will help you ensure that your remote employee is properly onboarded and off to a great start:

1. Create a welcome packet

Create a welcome packet for your new remote employee that includes all the information they need to get started. This should include detailed instructions on how to access the necessary systems, setting up their computer, and any other relevant information.

Use Docs in ClickUp to create a comprehensive guide for your new hire.

2. Set up a virtual onboarding meeting

Schedule a virtual meeting with your new hire to discuss the onboarding process and get to know each other. During the meeting, you should discuss the company’s policies and procedures, and provide an overview of the employee’s job role and expectations.

Use the Calendar view in ClickUp to schedule the meeting and add it to the onboarding checklist.

3. Set up a mentorship program

Create a mentorship program for your new remote employee to help them get acclimated to the team and the job. This can be done by assigning them a mentor or pairing them up with a more experienced employee.

Set up Milestones in ClickUp to provide guidance and support for the new hire throughout the onboarding process.

4. Stay in touch

Make sure to stay in touch with your new employee throughout the onboarding process and beyond. Send them an email or give them a call to check in and see how they’re doing. This will help them feel more connected to the team and provide them with the support they need to be successful.

Use Email in ClickUp to stay in contact with your new remote employee.
