Starting a new remote GIG can be an exciting yet challenging
experience. This article will let you know about Omni Day here at Omni. You
will receive a step-by-step guide to ensure your Omni Day with us is as smooth as possible. Omni Day is Omni’s onboarding day for GBAs. During this day, not only will you learn about Omni’s culture and values, but you will also learn about your Omni Tools that you will be using on the Omni Platform on a day-to-day basis.
Prepare Your Workspace
1. Select your Location.
Choose a quiet, comfortable spot for your home office. Select a place in your home that is free from distractions and noise. If you can close the door, that will be very advantageous to you as well.
2. Set up your Home Office
Review your Omni Day Schedule
1. Look for your Gig Contract Overview Email
Look for your Welcome Email, which contains your Gig Contract Overview. This item will outline not only your Omni Day schedule but also your Certification, Earn & Learn, and Production Schedules. You can refer to the Omnipedia Article
About Gig Contracts with Omni if you would like more information on your GCOs or Gig Contract Overview.
2. Try to come in early.
Try to come in early, but not too early. Since this will be your first meeting with your virtual Certification Team, please arrive a little early in case you need to test your connection (USB Headset, Internet, etc). You may need to register to access the Virtual Classroom for Omni Day. You can refer to the
Article Registering for Virtual Omni Certification for more information on the steps you MUST complete before coming into your Virtual Classroom for Omni Day.
3. Keep an eye out for that timezone.
Since Omni is a remote, work-from-home company, we operate in multiple time zones. Make sure you understand which time zone your Virtual Certification Class will be held in. If you would like more information on how to check the time zone you are in or to convert times, you can refer to, you guessed it, the Omnipedia Article
What time is it there? - Time Map for more information.
Yes, Omni Day is about getting into your Omni Tools and learning about Omni, but signing into some of your more important Omni Tools before coming into Omni Day will ensure that you have a smoother experience. This allows you to spot issues before Omni Day, so your GPS can focus on troubleshooting any that you are unable to resolve in advance. Some of the tools you want to ensure you are logged into are:
- Your Omni Single Sign On Information; Learn more here: Getting Started with the Omniverse - Omni Credentials Single Sign-On
- Your Omni Multi-Factor Authenticator (MFA), you can learn more here: Keeping Secure on the Omni Platform - MFA Setup
- Microsoft Teams for your Virtual Classroom; you can learn more here: Communicating in the Omniverse - Microsoft Teams Setup
- And finally, your Omni Email, you can view those steps here: Communications - Your Omni Email

Tips for Omni Day
1. Stay Organized
When your GPS is going through what you're learning about in the day, try to keep a checklist for yourself to ensure you don't miss a step, topic, or tool.
2. Be Proactive
We love communication here in the Omniverse. Don't hesitate to ask your GPS questions if you need clarification on a step, topic, or tool.
3. Maintain a Positive Attitude
Omni Day is, of course, onboarding day for a lot of GBAs. Onboarding, of course, means logging into tools, and anyone who has dealt with technology will tell you tech issues are bound to occur. Please be patient as your GPSs work through technical issues to ensure everyone can access the tool properly.
4. Avoid Distractions
Avoid distractions during your Omni Day experience, you want to ensure that you don't miss a step, or a discussion on a topic that is important.
