Career Development and Virtual Remote Work: Challenges and Opportunities
by Claretha Hughes Tomika W. Greer Yuanlu NiuAmidst the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge in virtual remote work prompted a significant workforce shift from the office building to the home environment. Once workplaces reopened, a considerable portion of employees expressed a preference for sustained virtual remote arrangements.

This book explores the intersection of career development and virtual remote work and its dual impact on employees’ careers and organizational success. The authors examine the positive and negative impacts of virtual remote work on career development. While virtual remote work may pose challenges in relationship-building and communication, it concurrently offers enhanced flexibility, autonomy, and self-direction.

Issues of workforce disparities, conscious and unconscious bias, work-life equilibrium, and interpersonal conflict, and how these may impact one’s career path, are also closely addressed.

by Kimberly McDonald Linda HiteCareer Development: A Human Resource Development Perspective offers a strategic framework that demonstrates the role of career development within the human resource function. It goes beyond conventional interventions and includes key topics such as diversity, work–life balance, and ethics.

In this book, McDonald and Hite bring together the strengths of both traditions, offering an integrated framework for career development. The theoretical foundation expands on the counseling literature by incorporating the literature from human resource development and related fields. The application section reflects on the wide range of ages and working options that characterize the current and future workplace. The final section of the book addresses career development issues such as managing a diverse, global workforce; ethics; and work–life balance. This book will help prepare human resource development students, scholars, and practitioners to develop and maintain successful career development programs, and to foster more innovative research that advances the discourse.
