Starting a new job can be hard. It’s even harder when it’s done from home. New hires feel unsure, alone, and often have lots of questions. If companies don’t make the first few weeks clear and helpful, good people might leave.
That’s why a smart onboarding plan matters. Remote teams need tools that make it easy to meet, train, and check in. One way to do that is by using WebMeet for video sessions. It lets you run clean, branded meetings that feel like part of your company—not just another app.
With WebMeet, managers can welcome new hires in a space that looks and feels like home base. No strange links or off-brand designs. Just your name, your logo, and a smooth start.
Why Video Helps Onboarding
When someone starts a new job, face time matters. But when teams are remote, you can’t just stop by their desk. You need to plan meetings that feel personal and clear.
Video helps people feel seen. It gives a space to ask questions. New hires can meet their team, hear from their boss, and learn how things work. It also helps build trust early on.
Group meetings help with training. One-on-ones help with support. All of this is easy with video—but only if it’s simple to use.
What Makes WebMeet Different
Many video tools are built for the masses. They work, but they show another company’s name. That can make new hires feel like outsiders.
WebMeet solves that. It gives you a meeting space that looks like your own. New hires get links from your domain. The colors, layout, and name all match your brand.
This makes a better first impression. People know they’re in the right place. They feel part of the team, not like guests. And you stay in control of the experience.
You can record calls, run breakout sessions, and keep things safe. It works well on all devices and doesn’t need a tech setup.
You Can’t Fix What You Don’t See
Even with video meetings, things can go wrong. Maybe a trainer talks too fast. Maybe the tools don’t make sense. Maybe no one follows up after day one.
The only way to know is to ask.
Good onboarding doesn’t stop at “welcome.” It keeps checking in during week one, week two, and even the first few months. This is how you learn what’s working—and what needs to change.
The Tool for That: onboarding experience quality of hire metrics
The best way to track how people feel during onboarding is with short, clear surveys. Onboarding experience quality of hire metrics from Survale helps teams do that.
This tool sends quick feedback forms after key points in the process. For example, after the welcome call, after the first task, or after the first check-in with a manager.
It also looks at how new hires feel about training, support, and tools. You can spot if someone feels lost or if many people share the same complaint.
You also get data on how managers rate new hires. This shows how well people are set up for success—not just how they feel.
Survale shows all this in clear charts. You can sort by job, team, or date. It’s a simple way to track how onboarding works across the company.
Small Tweaks Can Make Big Changes
Say you run all onboarding calls through WebMeet. The welcome session goes well, but you notice that new hires give low ratings to follow-up training. Now you know where to fix the flow.
Maybe the training guide needs to be shorter. Maybe it’s better live than recorded. The feedback shows where to start.
This loop of meet, ask, and adjust is how good onboarding improves. It’s not about guessing. It’s about clear steps.
Don’t Forget the Managers
New hires aren’t the only ones who need help. Managers also need to check in, guide, and review progress. But they’re often busy.
Video check-ins make this easier. A weekly 15-minute call on WebMeet keeps things moving. The manager sees how the hire is doing. The hire feels supported.
At the same time, Survale can ask both sides simple questions. Is the hire settling in? Do they know what’s expected? Does the manager feel they’re a good fit?
These answers tell the real story. If things go wrong, you catch it fast. If things go well, you keep doing what works.
It Works for Small and Large Teams
You don’t need a big HR staff to use this plan. WebMeet and Survale work for small teams too.
You can set up meetings and feedback in a few clicks. No need for a long build. It fits into what you already do.
That makes it perfect for startups, growing teams, or companies just now going remote.
As you grow, you can add more features. But even the basics help a lot.
Onboarding Builds the Future
People remember how they started. If it was smooth, they stay longer. If it was messy, they start looking elsewhere.
Good onboarding builds trust early. It shows that your company has a plan and cares about people. That matters more than perks or fancy tools.
Use video to make people feel seen. Use surveys to make sure they feel heard. And use both together to make your process better every time.
Final Thoughts
Remote work is not going away. Teams are hiring from everywhere. That means clear onboarding is more important than ever.
Together, these tools help you bring people in the right way. They feel welcome. You stay informed. And your team gets stronger from the start.
