I'm sure people will respond with the obvious need for an onboarding guide or helper, but even this is harder to do remote. When I onboard in-person I can watch the new hire, judge their mental state or know if they're busy, check in with them often - at the right time and get to know them personally. All do-able remote but much harder.

It's only harder if you have a 20th century notion of privacy and aren't willing to be on videoconference all day to emulate copresennce.
