Abstract: The purpose of this study is to describe the challenges and opportunities of new hires in working remotely and suggest a new model for new hires to improve their engagement in remote work environments. By reviewing related literature, we explored the important role of engagement in new hires and summarized the challenges and opportunities of new hires in different generations. Based on our review, we suggested a model to improve new employees’ engagement in remote working with six key components: socialization, adaptation, communication, relationships, job/work, and support. Finally, discussion and implications are provided.
