The idea of onboarding virtual staff can feel daunting.

Many firms hesitate to hire virtual staff because of these concerns:

• Lack of Communication – “How will we collaborate effectively with a remote team?”
• Data Security Risks – “How can we trust remote employees with confidential information?”

The truth? A structured onboarding process ensures remote employees can be just as effective as in-house teams.
