Virtual New Hire On-Boarding
OperationsInc Develops Virtual On-Boarding Program to Help Client Onboard and Engage New Hires During COVID-19 Pandemic
OVERVIEW
- Financial services firm with 300 clients needed a plan to virtually onboard employees hired during forced quarantines tied to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The client was seeking an efficient and thorough way to properly welcome and onboard new hires during a time when new employees, managers, and teams were working remotely.
- The client chose OperationsInc due to our team’s extensive expertise in the area of remote work and new hire onboarding.
SOLUTIONS
- OperationsInc immediately began work to develop the necessary processes,
procedures, and corresponding tools needed by the client to launch a virtual
onboarding program. - We extensively reviewed the client’s in-person onboarding processes to ensure the
virtual version would maintain all necessary and key components. - An analysis was conducted to ensure that there were not any roles that would present unique challenges if onboarded remotely.
- Our team worked closely with client stakeholders to develop onboarding materials and checklists that would:
- Provide new employees with the resources and information needed to complete their work.
- Replace (to the extent possible) any step in the onboarding process that included in-person intervention (i.e. delivery of equipment, collection of signed paperwork, etc.), providing alternate, virtual solutions.
- Effectively reflect the values and culture of the organization and provide critical company policies and information.
- Engage employees with other team members.
- Provide new hires with a sense of belonging though they had not yet been in physical contact with their new teams.
- Delivery and roll out of a fully virtual and remote onboarding program, including program timelines and client owners for each task, as well as training for key members of the client’s team.
OUTCOMES
- The client was able to immediately improve the employee onboarding experience of all new remote hires, quickly improving engagement in this critical population.
- New employees were provided the education and support they needed to start work at a productive level.
- Former challenges tied to a lack of face-to-face communications were overcome.
