This week on the pod is HR wizard Emilia Montiglio. Driven by her passion for people and the way they do things, Emilia has followed her natural leadership inclinations into a career as Head of People at Workana moving from the corporate world into a scale up that is remote first in every sense. Working for a scale up which has workers distributed all across Latin America, Workana is an online portal that connects freelancers to potentials clients and projects. In this conversation, Emilia shares the importance of company culture when working with global remote teams, effective onboarding processes for remote workers, and why work-life balance is key. She is also an avid reader and loves her dogs, which is all about finding balance in life. A HR queen you can find out more about Emi on LinkedIn and more about Workana at www.workana.com.
