Jo Palmer tells here Ag story

This article is bought to you by Orange Truck & Ag and RFM No Till.

Jo is a connector and loves witnessing the amazing things that happen when people come together. It is this love of connection that was the driving force behind her establishing Pointer Remote Roles – an online platform that facilitates remote work opportunities by connecting businesses all over Australia with talented professionals living in regional, rural and remote regions.

Growing up in the Snowy Mountains, Jo Palmer trained as a teacher in Wagga and then worked and travelled overseas before returning to Australia with her husband to the Riverina, where she now lives with their two daughters.

The network of highly qualified and experienced professionals who live in regional, rural and remote areas in Australia is enormous and much of this talent is sitting idle or underutilised, particularly in women.

Remote work is the key to future employment with today's workforce moving towards flexible working hours and locations.

The concept of Pointer Remote Roles evolved as Jo began to look at her network of highly qualified, professional friends living in regional areas who were being underutilised. The Australian workforce was missing out on this talent as there was no easy way to connect with these professionals. Pointer Remote Roles provides a valuable pathway for companies, corporations and government agencies to fill positions with the best candidate for the job, regardless of where they live.

Jo's project is to create a portal within Pointer's platform that will help to alleviate road blocks that hold many rurally based professionals back from engaging with remote work. The portal's resources and training will also educate and support businesses to adopt remote employment. Barriers such as a lack of confidence and understanding of new technology will be addressed through online resources, training and formal certifications for professionals looking to engage in remote work as well as for business owners managing remote employees.
