Onboarding remote, early-career engineers

Asynchronous communication and a structured approach
December 11, 2020

One of the challenges with onboarding remote, early-career engineers is generally the lack of structure and planning.

Leaders often put together a simplistic onboarding program without taking into account different personalities and work styles. The onboarding program tends to reflect the biases of the person putting the program together and doesn’t always lead to successful outcomes for the new hire.

Since there is no one-size-fits-all approach, we should try and optimize for the behaviors that have tended to prove successful in remote work environments, such as asynchronous communication. However, we need a structured approach for building up new hires’ muscles in this area.
