You&#8217;re getting ready to start a new job and the first day jitters are plentiful. You sit down at your laptop and are ready to get started when you realise&#8230; you have no idea who you&#8217;re reporting to, you&#8217;re not sure if the company has received your details and you genuinely have no idea where to begin.\n\nIf you were in an office you could give panicked eyes to the person sitting at the nearest desk, but at home you just sit at your laptop. Waiting, watching and wondering what will come next.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mr Bean waiting on the side of the road\" class=\"wp-image-38060 aligncenter\" height=\"845\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif\" width=\"690\"\/>\n\nIf this scenario makes you shudder, you would recognise the importance of putting together a solid online induction program for any new recruits.\n\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/235121\/why-onboarding-experience-key-retention.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">research<\/a>, only 1 in 10 employees think that their company does a great job of induction. Eek!

As well as capturing classic elements of an induction program &#8211; like collecting essential details, introducing them to the team and sharing company values.\n\nA good online induction should give the incoming employee a complete understanding of the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-company-culture\/\">company&#8217;s culture<\/a> and operations without stepping foot on site.<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/create-account-hiring-essentials\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Create a free Hiring Essentials account\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29235 size-large\" height=\"714\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Hiring-Essentials-Create-Free-Account-1024x714.png\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Hiring-Essentials-Create-Free-Account-1024x714.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Hiring-Essentials-Create-Free-Account-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Hiring-Essentials-Create-Free-Account-768x536.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Hiring-Essentials-Create-Free-Account-440x307.png 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Hiring-Essentials-Create-Free-Account.png 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2 id=\"what-should-be-included-in-an-online-induction-program\">What should be included in an online induction program?<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"\"><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"1-compliance-comes-first\">1.

It is also a good idea to get the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/new-employee-bio-template-remote-teams\/\">new starter to provide a bio<\/a> so other team members can know them better too!\n\nHave HR follow up the induction meeting by checking in with the employee to see how they are finding their first few days.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/communication-cadence-distributed-team\/\">Remote team communication best practices<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"5-organise-virtual-11s-and-catch-ups\">5.

The vulnerability of starting a new job combined with working remotely can easily lead to a feeling of isolation for your new employees.\n\nGetting to know a whole team over video chat can be challenging and intimidating. Beyond the first day, set up <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-meetings-how-to-guide\/\">regular virtual meetings<\/a> with your new starter to help them meet different members of the team individually.\n\nThe best way to do this is to integrate a mix of formal one-on-ones (1:1s) and casual catch-ups into their routine.\n\n<strong>Formal 1:1s <\/strong>&#8230; are regularly scheduled meetings that an employee has with their direct manager to talk through any issues and commit to plans for the future. These structured meetings should discuss goals, engagement, roadblocks and career development opportunities.\n\n<strong>Casual catch-ups<\/strong> &#8230; are fun and informal meetings that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/stay-connected-virtually-with-coworkers\/\">encourage positive relationships<\/a> between members of your team.\n\nTry setting up a \u2018coffee roulette&#8217;, where your new staff member is randomly matched with another member of the team each day for an online catch-up over a coffee.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/tips-for-working-from-home\/\">Employee wellbeing tips while working from home<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h2 id=\"make-online-induction-easy\">Make online induction easy<\/h2>\nAce your online induction process with our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/remote-onboarding-checklist-schedule-template\/\">remote onboarding checklist<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/employee-induction-onboarding-checklist-template\/\">onboarding guide<\/a>.\n\nAt the end of the day, you want to make your induction program a positive experience that your new hire will remember throughout their professional career.
