New employee (Gen Z} doesn’t want to meet in person

I took on a graduate for a new position, she’d been job hunting for a few years, I felt good about giving her a hand up into a great career.
She lives about an hour away so works remotely. She bright and polite and reliable and a good member of the team.

The problem I have is that she doesn’t want to visit the office in person or meet her colleagues in person, I offered to put her up in a nice hotel and pay travel costs so that she could spend a few days with us in person. She declined. My latest issue is that she doesn’t put her camera on when we are communicating at work as part of daily work or chats. I understand she might not be very confident but I think that you have to get out of the house / your comfort zone if you want a career.

im not sure what to do- any advice oh wise ladies.

We had one of these on our job. Refused to go to site, never puts her camera on. Only met he once. She gets on with the job, but very unfriendly and keeps herself to herself. We let her get on with it now. So long as the job gets done. BUT if it impacts the work, words need to be said.

How do these people ever get employed ? They must have been on site when they started work.

In probably the same way people with perfect skills, years of experience and zero personality problems don't get hired I would imagine.
