Assign them a buddy! Someone whos not their manager, just a peer to answer informal questions and help them navigate things. Also, schedule lots of short intro calls with key team members in the first couple weeks.

Make sure your documentation is AMAZING. Like, really good. Especially around team norms, communication expectations, and who does what. Nothing worse than being new remote and having no idea how things work or who to ask.

we try to do a virtual team lunch or happy hour shortly after someone starts. keeps it casual and gives ppl a chance to chat outside of just work tasks. its important they see the human side of the team too.
