5 min read
01
Week one: access and context
Prepare system access before the start date, and set aside time to explain how your business works, who the clients are and where the new team member's work fits.
02
Weeks two and three: rhythm
Agree a short daily check-in and one weekly review. Written updates help remote work stay visible without adding meetings.
03
Week four: feedback in both directions
Ask what is unclear or slow, and give specific feedback on quality and communication. Early adjustment prevents small issues becoming persistent ones.
