How are you preparing for your remote intern?

Question

I imagine many of us are in the same boat - we've mentored many on-site interns but due to COVID-19 we're now managing a remote worker for the first time. How are you preparing for this?In a more general sense: Managers who have never managed remote teams, what have your experiences been transitioning to a remote team and/or on-boarding new employees?

Quick tip:Have a person that has call with the new intern every day for the first 1-2 weeks.Blocked to be 30mins, meant to be 15mins.It allows to "bring stupid questions / blockers" to the next day's meeting. It create bonding and team culture understanding.
