I think it's especially hard when there was a process in place that was all about showing the new hires all about company philosophy and values and meeting face to face with all the departments for example. I mean, that's still relevant and still important but not on the remote scenario imho, especially not when it's spread out over 2 weeks for instance... If the focus shifts for "actionable onboarding" like: this is our process, here's your "onboarding ticket" to get a feel for the codebase, the Readme docs are at the top level, let's keep in sync when you need, lmk! I feel this philosophy would be better for the remote way of working.
