Planning training sessions with your local team is an excellent way to facilitate constructive communication and ensure everyone is on the same page.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Concentrate_on_building_relationships\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Concentrate on building relationships<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most typical workplace onboarding involves some variation on the \u201cintroduce yourself\u201d concept. These sessions are often brief but that still works because over the following weeks your new staff member or team is able to establish relationships while on location.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When it comes to outsourcing, you don\u2019t have the luxury of letting this process happen organically. To make your new team feel welcome and establish the sort of interpersonal relationships that make for a good workplace culture, you must be proactive.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rather than a brief introduction on the first day, try starting each project meeting with short, informal conversations that will help your teams get to know each other. This will not only help with cohesion, but it\u2019ll also help you establish a productive work environment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_you_document_your_processes\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ensure you document your processes<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Documenting your internal processes is a great way to keep all your staff on the same page. When it comes to outsourcing projects, this documentation can mean the difference between a smooth onboarding process or an extremely bumpy one.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s recommended that you keep up-to-date process documentation in a central repository that is easily accessible to your teams both local and outsourced. This will ensure your remote staff are able to refer to crucial information both during and after the training period.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_your_team\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Visit your team<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Humans operate better face-to-face, this is just a fact. When it comes to onboarding a remote team, it can be extremely beneficial to meet with them in person. During your visit, you\u2019ll gain an understanding of their work environment and be better able to establish an interpersonal relationship.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meeting your team in person also gives you a measure of security and reassurance.
