Hi, do you have any recommendations about an onboarding process for remote workers? Also would be nice to know for people on site.
What do you think that is a must here? Looking for improve employees satisfaction and an efficient way to test their skills in the first weeks/months

Blended learning is the key here, I think. 8hrs/day on zoom is just too much. Assign reading and elearnings in your LMS. Give off-screen assignments that involve introspection or writing on paper. Hold discussion sessions as walking meetings where everyone joins the meeting on their phones (this is also fun for a social break—you get to see where people live, their dogs/kids, etc).
For testing, create a variety of knowledge checks that could include tests in your LMS (or even Google forms if you don’t have an LMS), Kahoot! games, online bingo (there are free sites where you can create your own answer cards and everyone plays online) and etc.
Variety in activity and medium are key.

I second Thumbtack ⬆️ ⬆️ Blended doesn’t have to mean in person vs remote but you can’t expect people to sit through a 5hr webinar and be able to recall what they learned. We built our onboarding program on Nomadic Learning and it’s been a game changer. We have some webinars but they’re spaced out and mixed into social/cohort-based e-learning. It’s gotten great reviews from new hires so far, we ran it for 4k new hires last year and just renewed again for this year

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
