Jere is right in general, but for this particular case, the simpler
solution is to use just the file name: org interprets that to mean a
file relative to org-directory:
(setq org-directory (getenv "WORKDIR"))
(setq org-remember-templates
'(
("Personal" ?p "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" "~/Documents/personal/notes.org")
("Work Tasks" ?t "* TODO %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" "tasks.org")
))
