It’s predicted that by 2020, 50% of workers will work remotely. That brings a new set of challenges to global companies and in this podcast, we explore what those challenges are and how to thrive in this new world.
Our guest expert is Mary Lemons, the former VP of Human Resources Solutions at Global Upside. Mary managed Global Upside’s HR capabilities worldwide until the company was sold in 2022. This included the provision of services for startup organizations in need of creating scalable and efficient HR infrastructures as well as mature organizations in need of adjunct resources. Mary has held senior HR roles in the high-tech industry overseeing all human resources functions including recruitment, employee development, compensation, benefits, stock options, and HR information systems.
Some of the topics we discuss include:
- The trends driving a virtual workforce
- The different types of remote and virtual workforces
- Unique compliance issues for these types of workers to be aware of
- New ways of working and how that requires new skills for workers to be effective
- Different types of training and how HR can help
- How to promote company culture, especially internationally with remote teams
If you are a company that’s global in nature and looking for the best talent, no matter where they are located, this podcast is for you.
