Starting a new job in a world of 'digital by design'

Effective onboarding from the comfort of your own home.
January 28, 2021

We know that more and more people are starting new jobs remotely. But how does this affect the onboarding experience?

In times of uncertainty, we tend to become more risk-averse in our decision-making. Despite that, I took a leap of faith and accepted a new senior engineering leadership role at Shopify, just after they had gone to working fully remotely, permanently (what we call, ‘digital by design’). Six months into it, I am pleased to share that it has been an incredibly positive experience for me. I hope that you can leverage some of the factors that made the difference for me to benefit you and/or your team members.
