# 3 Steps for Onboarding Remote and In-Person Employees That Make Your Hybrid Team More Collaborative

Written by: [Danielle Itani](https://blog.innovativeemployeesolutions.com/ies-blog-nb-24/author/ieswebditani)

The future of work is hybrid. In fact, Gartner notes that [48 percent](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/9-future-of-work-trends-post-covid-19) of the workforce will likely work fully or partially remotely after the pandemic, and employees now [demand flexible schedules](https://ceoworld.biz/2021/08/23/the-future-of-work-you-dont-need-a-plan-you-need-a-commitment/). Bloomberg also reports that [39 percent](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-01/return-to-office-employees-are-quitting-instead-of-giving-up-work-from-home) of people surveyed in May 2021 said they would quit their jobs if their employers didn’t provide remote work options.

Even though flexible hybrid workplaces will be mainstays for companies [going forward](https://www.recruiter.com/i/without-remote-work-opportunities-you-wont-be-retaining-your-employees-in-2021/), there are still some growing pains to work through -- especially when it comes to creating an onboarding process for remote and on-site employees that encourages hybrid collaboration and makes all hires feel comfortable regardless of their location. New remote hires can easily feel isolated from in-person and even other remote employees, which can result in a lack of communication and collaboration among teams.

In light of this, my team set about creating an onboarding process for remote employees that would help new workers find their rhythm and encourage meaningful contributions as quickly as possible.
