In a remote-first world, you have to make a new hire feel at home. You also have to make sure they have the right technology, that they’re comfortable with it, that they’ve got a good work environment. It’s so important to have the right home-office setup—office supplies, Wi-Fi, ergonomic furniture. Making sure that new hires have everything at home that your admin team would normally set up in the office is really important to getting off on the right foot.

From there, it’s building the culture and making sure the new employee is connected. You need to make sure the teams are communicating often, that you’re helping the new person make connections with other team members, and that expectations are clearly set: “Here are your first 30 days, here’s what you can expect at 90, here’s our plans for this year.”
