This is still hella intrusive and creepy, and if somebody tried this with me I'd make them wish I had just ghosted them.
> Don’t just onboard them, onboard their social circle. If it’s a family, set up a dinner for them (delivered to their home, out at a local restaurant, whatever they prefer) to celebrate the new job together. Send company swag to give to family and friends. Record videos from team members welcoming them. Basically help everyone get excited about the change. In a ‘normal’ office environment, you’d be inviting them to happy hours, etc. Recreate that virtually as needed.
If somebody pulls this, put them on blast. Name names. Show no mercy.
