Company hiring remote employee in different timezone who can't visit office.

Equipment: Shipping laptop and monitors to home address - FedEx tracking shared with Alex. Arrival estimated Thursday, 2 days before start.

Scheduled all orientation sessions for his morning hours (our afternoon). Set up virtual coffee chats with 5 team members throughout first two weeks. Timezone considerations: Added his working hours to team calendar. Configured Slack to show his local time. Scheduled overlap meetings during 10am-2pm PT when most team is available. First week includes async training modules he can complete on his schedule. I've also created a 'Remote Employee Guide' with tips for working with the team across timezones. His manager has been briefed on remote onboarding best practices. Ready to proceed?""
