Ask HN: How are you onboarding and managing your remote teams?
Looking for leaders of remote teams (engineering or non-engineering) to share advice/experience on the following areas.
Onboarding: What do you do upon hiring to help new team members ramp up? How do you ensure they feel like they’re part of the team/culture? How do you provide support and direction as they figure out their role and the codebase/responsibilities?
Management: How do you support these team members and manage their growth? What tools to do you use for communication/collaboration (e.g. Slack, task management tools, etc)?
Culture: Do you bring everyone together IRL at a certain cadence (annually?) for team building? What other activities/things do you do to foster culture and team building?
Anything you’d be willing to share would be really helpful and appreciated!
