The Client

Neovation supports fully remote teams

Neovation Learning Solutions, a Winnipeg-based software company, employs more than 60 individuals, called “Neovites.” Employees work in divisions focused on research and development, marketing and business development, content production, and client success.

Geographically dispersed throughout North America, many Neovites are fully remote employees. Others transitioned to remote work during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Challenge

Onboarding and supporting remote teams poses logistical challenges

Starting a new job can be overwhelming. In addition to learning new daily tasks and responsibilities, there’s getting used to a new company’s culture and ways of doing things. And all those new colleagues to meet and names to remember!

This is doubly hard for employees who work remotely and may rarely meet teammates and colleagues in person.

Training and communication don’t stop with new hire onboarding, of course: All employees need the latest information on cybersecurity, easy access to company policies and procedures, and continuous compliance training. Distributed teams need a way to stay connected and to keep up with team-specific information, policies, and best practices. Finally, Neovation wanted to provide channels for employees to offer feedback on policies, processes, and training content.

Neovites engage every day in training using our own platforms. This is a key driver of their success — whether they are in the office or remote — and enables our teams to collaborate, innovate, and thrive.
