How to Manage a Remote Team: 6 Ideas for Better Remote Work
Read Story →It’s no secret that people who live in Alaska are typically resilient and tough, important characteristics to have when weathering that long Alaskan winter. Those also make great characteristics for your next employees. So even though Alaska is one of the least populated states in the US, you may just find your next great hire there. And it’s not a problem if your business isn’t actually based in Alaska. Fortunately, in this era of remote work, you don’t have to be limited by location; collaborating across state lines is easy. Bringing on a new employee can be exciting, but there’s a lot to do as well. You want to onboard your new hire as quickly and smoothly as possible to ensure their success at your organization. But before you get started with onboarding, you’ll need to register your business with the state of Alaska. Any person, firm, or organization that employs one or more people for a portion of a day is required to register with the state.
