“…All this, in turn, will provide simultaneous training of students with different levels of training [7] and will positively affect their academic success [21]. Additionally, to provide feedback between the teacher and students, you can use software solutions that allow you to check and compile the program code [10], provide recommendations in natural language in real time using conversational agents [9] or bots [23].…”

“…While traditional, in-person onboarding has been frequently studied in the context of organization outcomes [12,18,27,46,48], virtual onboarding is still an open area. Most studies focus on virtual onboarding challenges related to specific job functions such as engineering [8,22,27,43]. For example, a very relevant qualitative study by Rodeghero et al indicates that remote work harms social connection, but changing the mode of interaction (such as turning on the camera during meetings) could potentially improve socialization [43].…”

“…For example, a very relevant qualitative study by Rodeghero et al indicates that remote work harms social connection, but changing the mode of interaction (such as turning on the camera during meetings) could potentially improve socialization [43]. Previous work also discusses AI tools (e.g., voice assistant tools) [23,53], or human effort (e.g., hosting virtual watercooler events [7], or providing checklists or mentorship [16,27]) that can be used to improve onboarding. Our work further explores the remote onboarding process in the context of connectivity and provides potential web solutions that connect people with the expert knowledge needed to improve employee connectivity.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformations across industries, but also introduced new challenges into workplaces, including the difficulties of effectively socializing with colleagues when working remotely. This challenge is exacerbated for new employees who need to develop workplace networks from the outset. In this paper, by analyzing a large-scale telemetry dataset of more than 10,000 Microsoft employees who joined the company in the first three months of 2022, we describe how new employees interact and telecommute with their colleagues during their "onboarding" period. Our results reveal that although new hires are gradually expanding networks over time, there still exists significant gaps between their network statistics and those of tenured employees even after the six-month onboarding phase. We also observe that heterogeneity exists among new employees in how their networks change over time, where employees whose job tasks do not necessarily require extensive and diverse connections could be at a disadvantaged position in this onboarding process. By investigating how web-based people recommendations in organizational knowledge base facilitate new employees naturally expand their networks, we also demonstrate the potential of web-based applications for addressing the aforementioned socialization challenges. Altogether, our findings provide insights on new employee network dynamics in remote and hybrid work environments, which may help guide organizational leaders and web application developers on quantifying and improving the socialization experiences of new employees in digital workplaces.
