If you have already accepted an offer, intentionally seek out information by creating opportunities to connect with others. Some companies may need a few nudges to provide a more inclusive onboarding experience.

What social platforms are the organization active on?
Is there anyone on the team who want to pair up with me, as a remote onboarding buddy?
