Ask HN: How are you preparing for your remote intern?

2 pointsby bsilvereaglealmost 5 years ago
I imagine many of us are in the same boat - we&#x27;ve mentored many on-site interns but due to COVID-19 we&#x27;re now managing a remote worker for the first time. How are you preparing for this?<p>In a more general sense: Managers who have never managed remote teams, what have your experiences been transitioning to a remote team and&#x2F;or on-boarding new employees?

Quick tip:<p>Have a person that has call with the new intern every day for the first 1-2 weeks.<p>Blocked to be 30mins, meant to be 15mins.<p>It allows to &quot;bring stupid questions &#x2F; blockers&quot; to the next day&#x27;s meeting. It create bonding and team culture understanding.
