Key learnings

How can I make sure people are still getting a feel for the culture in a remote setting? 

Jeni argues that digitalising onboarding actually elevates and improves the ability to create a culture, because instead of spending lots of time time showing new employees the basics (applying for expenses, annual leave etc), you’re giving them the power to do this in their own time and get the info as and when they need it.

This in turn creates the space to get creative and be very intentional about leveraging technology to connect in meaningful ways. Jeni talks about including initiatives such as coffee roulette or coffee with the founders as part of Teamwork’s onboarding process – what other ideas could work for you?
