Episode 249 — Starting a career remotely
Back in mid-March we spoke to Emerald Works' CEO John Yates and Frontline Pedagogy Lead, Laura Watkin, about their experience of starting senior roles remotely. This week on the Mind Tools L&D podcast, Gemma talks to freshly recruited team members from the same organisations - Emerald Works team member, David Sharkey and People Coordinator at Front, Simi Manik - on their remote onboard experiences. We discuss what remote onboarding involves - the positives and negatives, how it's different to joining a company "in person", and what organisations might consider doing to best support remote newbies.
