New-hire identity fraud is now more likely because of the shift to 100% remote hiring. Unfortunately, that could mean that the recently hired employee that you remotely interviewed and that you’ll now see only on a Zoom screen is really someone else.

After your firm eventually expands its remote workforce to over 50%, anticipate a boost in productivity. Also, expect a painful reduction in innovation unless you take the right proactive actions.

The focus of this article is to provide “a “toolkit” of” effective intuitive high-touch tools that should be used at the team level when every new worker must be onboarded remotely. However, it’s important to note that the remote onboarding tools listed here are especially effective for any employee that is working 100% remotely.

I call them zombie remote workers. During the first few months of working at home, these new hires will slowly wander (at least mentally) not knowing what’s expected and feeling completely isolated from their team. You can credit the creation of these zombie new-hires to the hastily put together remote onboarding process implemented after the work-at-home orders were issued.
