  • Exploring remote onboarding in global virtual teams: a multiple case study   Order a copy of this article
    by Massimiliano Meneguz 
    Abstract: As organisations increasingly rely on remote work and global virtual teams (GVTs), traditional onboarding practices have become less suitable for integrating employees in dispersed virtual environments. Organisational leaders have limited knowledge of how remote onboarding influences employee adjustment, organisational socialisation, and collaboration within GVTs. This qualitative multiple case study explores the experiences of GVT members in Germany-headquartered companies during remote onboarding. Data sources included semistructured interviews with ten participants, reflective field notes, and archival data. Thematic analysis and cross-case synthesis identified five major categories: organisational socialisation and entry into GVTs; onboarding processes led by headquarters; positive aspects of remote onboarding; challenges of remote onboarding; and team member involvement during onboarding. The findings offer insights into structured onboarding, leadership engagement, and peer support that may improve integration and reduce adjustment difficulties in remote environments. They extend understanding of employee integration in distributed settings and inform future research and organisational practice
    Keywords: global virtual teams; leadership; newcomer adjustment; organisational socialisation; remote onboarding; remote work; working from home.
