EPISODE 1:
Reskilling remotely, road to oppotunities
The future of work is here. Are employers ready to keep up?
Digitalization promised a new era for working life, but the cultural transformation lagged – until COVID-19. Who are the real winners and losers? Many workers have made big wins from remote work such as savings on transport, better work-life balance, and more autonomy. And then there have been the less fortunate. Experiences diverge greatly depending on personal situations – such as space, childcare responsibilities, the nature of the job itself, and individual temperaments.

Coming to work unfiltered and expecting your colleagues to accept your true self could misfire. At the same time, hiding your authenticity at work can form meaningless relationships that can hold back professional growth.
