There's no doubt that one of the areas that COVID impacted the most was in the way we work, and specifically, in how the pandemic pushed remote work into the mainstream. Dan Andrews is the Co-Founder of Tropical MBA and Dynamite Jobs, and he's been beating the remote work drum for over a decade. He joins the show today to talk all things remote work, including whether it's here to stay. Listen in as we dive into how the narrative of remote work has changed over the past few years, what the optimal structure for organizations going forward will likely be, and whether offering the option to work remotely is still considered a perk for most employees. We also discuss when you should—and shouldn't—post a salary in your job description, what you can do instead to manage expectations and maintain interest, and how to find and vet great remote team members.
