Abstract
ABSTRACT As remote work becomes an option for many, ensuring career development in virtual workspaces will require innovative action from individuals and from HRD. Using the sustainable careers literature as a framework, this article explores how individuals can build viable and meaningful careers working remotely. The research indicates there are both advantages and challenges associated with virtual work. We address how Human Resource Development can help remote workers, maximize the advantages, and navigate the challenges to ensure the sustainability of their careers. In closing, we also offer implications for HRD research.
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
