A calm way to onboard a remote teammate
The first two weeks decide whether remote support feels seamless or chaotic. Here is a simple playbook.
Start with access, expectations, and a single source of truth for tasks. Remote teammates do their best work when the first week is boringly clear.
Share your tools, meeting cadence, and examples of good output. Record a short walkthrough instead of assuming context will appear by osmosis.
Review together at day five and day ten. Small course-corrections early prevent months of quiet misfit.
