This thesis discussed the effects of trends in human resource training, focusing on remote employee onboarding and training. The thesis included theoretical framework on how trends are defined, formed and how they behave, as well as which kinds of trends seem to affect human resource training and how those specific trends seem to change. The main purpose of the thesis was to provide start-up companies and older companies with insight on how they could consider developing their human resource training programs in the present day.

The research problem was the issue of some companies and those with general interest on the matter not being able to keep up with the recently dramatically changed trends of human resource training. This is why the thesis was based on two main research questions:

“How have the trends around employee training changed since 2000s?”, and “How have digitalization and remote working models as trends changed human resource training?”.

A mixed method research was conducted, asking several human resource management personnel of different companies to provide their insight on the matter. According to the research, there has been a noticeable upward trend in remote onboarding and training of employees. This paper has a purpose of gauging some of the effects on employee performance after conducting remote onboarding and training, and is aimed towards anyone with an interest in how to correctly provide remote training to their employees or has an interest in the field of human resource training.
