You\u2019ll also get to meet two new Benifyers who were recently onboarded remotely.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">3 tips for Successful Remote Onboarding:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">1. Digitalize More <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">With the digital tools that exist today, employers can enable new hires to learn more about the company and complete specific tasks before their first day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">2. Think beyond your own team <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Online &#8216;Meet n&#8217; Greet&#8217; opportunities with colleagues in other teams and different parts of the organization help build meaningful relationships and provide new hires with a better understanding of how the company works.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">3. Use social media<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Showcase your company culture in social channels and encourage new hires to read posts \u2013 new and old &#8211; to better familiarize themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">An HR expert on the opportunities and challenges of digital onboarding<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2798830\/All%20Markets\/Blog%20images\/hannah-steele-benify.jpg\" alt=\"hannah-steele-benify\" width=\"300\" style=\"width: 300px; float: left; margin: 0px 20px 10px 0px;\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">How many people have joined Benify since Benify employees began working from home due to the COVID-19 situation?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Thirty! Some arrived just in time to spend their first week in the office, but for the majority, the introduction was done remotely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What challenges has this presented for onboarding?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The biggest challenge when onboarding remotely is that new employees don\u2019t get the in-person, face-to-face opportunities to meet all of our fantastic employees, nor have the natural forums for building relationships with colleagues outside their team. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Employees who are new and who haven\u2019t had the opportunities to build relationships with colleagues can experience a sense of loneliness. New hires miss those typical interactions that occur while standing at the coffee machine or when passing someone in the office, where you say hello or can easily ask a question. As a result, not only do the broader aspects of relationship-building suffer, but so does the opportunity to gain more in-depth knowledge about the organization and what different roles are about.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">How is the HR team at Benify meeting these challenges?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We\u2019ve switched to digital introduction days, instead of conducting them in our head office as we normally do. We\u2019re still able to carry out our interactive workshop where we enable new employees to build relationships with each other and ensure they get a solid introduction to the company. We\u2019ve set up online &#8216;Meet n\u2019 Greet&#8217; opportunities with colleagues in different parts of the organization, which is coordinated by their immediate manager. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">To build relationships across the organization, every Friday, our team challenges other teams in an online quiz. Each new employee also gets their own &#8216;buddy&#8217; and has daily check-ins with the team. We\u2019ve also launched a dedicated chat channel on (Microsoft) Teams to quickly answer any questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What kind of support do managers need regarding this new process?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In HR, we\u2019ve seen that managers need assistance setting up a structured introduction process where new hires also get with the relationship-building parts. Many managers are great at creating solid introduction plans where new employees get the knowledge needed to perform their job. They\u2019re also good at maintaining ongoing dialogue, even remotely. However, what can easily be overlooked is looking at what other individuals or teams the new employee needs to form relationships with, which doesn\u2019t happen as naturally at a distance. To ensure it\u2019s not overlooked, we\u2019ve included it as part of the digital introduction days, which HR is responsible for. We also recommend having a buddy system, using (Microsoft) Teams channels and &#8216;Meet n\u2019 Greet&#8217; opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2798830\/All%20Markets\/Blog%20images\/person-having-online-meeting-laptop.jpg\" alt=\"person-having-online-meeting-on-laptop\" width=\"1100\" style=\"width: 1100px; margin: 5px 0px 0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">How is Benify&#8217;s platform used for digital onboarding while working remotely?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Benify&#8217;s platform is extremely useful for us when it comes to digitalizing parts of the introduction process under ordinary circumstances, but, of course, is even more so while we\u2019re working remotely. For example, new employees can log into their personal Benify employee platform and access e-learning and see checklists of things they need to do during their first days. With the help of the platform,&nbsp;we can take confidence knowing that all new employees receive the same level of introduction, regardless of who their closest manager is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The platform is also used for <a href=\"\/three-tips-for-preboarding\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">preboarding<\/a>, where new hires can access information before their first day. Much of the content aims to provide a basic understanding of Benify as a company, our culture and our history. It also gives new hires an increased sense of security to receive this information before their first day, especially during a time where many people feel uncertain about the future. Introducing new employees to our culture using the platform becomes even more critical when new hires are unable to experience our culture first-hand in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What tips do you have for other employers who want to make new hires feel welcome remotely\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8230;before the first day?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you haven&#8217;t already, look at how you can digitalize introduction processes. Develop and communicate a clear plan for the introduction of new hires, preferably a month before their first day. It provides a sense of security knowing what&#8217;s coming up and what to expect. It&#8217;s always good to maintain contact and continue dialogue with new hires throughout the preboarding process to create engagement and security. It also reduces the risk of dropouts, that is, an employee who leaves before his or her first day. On a practical level, it&#8217;s also important to plan the delivery of work equipment such as laptop and phone, so new hires receive what they need to do their job in time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2798830\/English%20(COM+UK)\/Whitepaper\/Communication\/400x400_popup-1.png\" alt=\"400x400_popup-1\" width=\"300\" style=\"width: 300px; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\">&#8230; when they have started working?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Once a new employee has started, it\u2019s important to have dialogue with other team members through daily check-ins, so that others in the team are involved in specific parts of the introduction. With Zoom and other digital tools, it\u2019s also easy to arrange a &#8216;Meet n\u2019 Greet&#8217; with employees in different teams and organize digital introduction days. Then it&#8217;s important to follow up the onboarding plan on an ongoing basis and check with new employees if there\u2019s any information they feel they&#8217;re missing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">How can you maintain a strong company culture while working remotely and make sure new employees experience it?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Use social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and your Benify platform, if you have one, to showcase your culture. At Benify, we encourage new employees to follow the company&#8217;s social channels, where we continuously publish content even while working remotely. For example, we have an initiative where different teams take turns in managing our Instagram account, where they show their workday. We also recommend new employees read our blog posts to be inspired and learn more about the various parts of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Matilda and Alexandra have been introduced remotely.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Alexandra Gryde, Project Manager, and Matilda Dankemeier, Talent Acquisition Coordinator, are two new Benifyers who only had a few days in the office before the decision was made that all Benify employees should work from home where possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2798830\/All%20Markets\/Blog%20images\/Matilda-Dankemeier-benify.jpg\" alt=\"Matilda-Dankemeier-benify\" width=\"276\" style=\"width: 276px; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\">What has it been like to work from home as a new employee?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cIt\u2019s obviously a unique situation. From my side, I\u2019m really glad I\u2019d worked a lot from home previously in a similar role. I know exactly how I need to structure my day and my tasks in order to be productive. I always have the support of my immediate boss and the opportunity to contact her about anything, which feels good if something happens and I don&#8217;t know how to solve it\u201d, says Matilda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a huge advantage with Benify that so many work tasks are already digital, but I miss the social part of having colleagues around me who can answer any spontaneous questions I might have. My role involves a lot of meetings with customers, and that\u2019s all happening online right now, which makes it a little harder to create personal contact,\u201d says Alexandra.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">How do you keep in touch with your new colleagues?<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2798830\/All%20Markets\/Blog%20images\/alexandra-gryde-benify.png\" alt=\"alexandra-gryde-benify\" width=\"268\" style=\"width: 268px; margin: 10px 15px 10px 0px; float: right;\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cAt the start and end of each day, our team has a check-in via Zoom. There was one day we even had a joint lunch where everyone in the team wore a costume of their choice, which was fun. In (Microsoft) Teams, there\u2019s also an open chat channel for everyone within project management, where you can always find someone to chat with if you want to,\u201d shares Alexandra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8220;The daily morning meetings with the team have been really important to me. The opportunity to see each other and gain insight into what everyone\u2019s doing is really valuable and helps you feel less alone. We also end each week with a &#8216;wrap up&#8217; where we all \u2018cheers!\u2019 with a drink and play Kahoot. This also creates room to talk about things unrelated to work too,&#8221; Matilda concludes.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">\u201cDevelop and communicate a clear plan for the introduction of new hires, preferably a month before their first day.
