The future of virtual-first work
from America's Credit Unions Hosted by CUNA News Podcast
Before long, remote work won’t exist. It will simply be “work.” “Virtual-first work,” as remote work expert Laurel Ferrar calls it, will become so normalized that it won’t even require discussion. This episode of the CUNA News Podcast features Ferrar, who’s head of TeamOps at GitLab and has worked remotely for 17 years. She explains how virtual-first work arrangements will evolve in the future, new tools that will improve this work style, where organizations struggle with these arrangements, and best practices for making them work.
