Part 3:
Our Remote Workspace
Our entire team works remotely from wherever we’re most comfortable and productive. Some of us work in our living rooms, home offices, or coffee shops. We utilize the Google Suite and Gmail, so much of our shared information and corporate functions occur with Google’s tools.
We don’t really ever see a need for an office space. For our company, it’s just too costly and impractical with team members all over the country.
Some of our communication tools
To meet and collaborate with video calls, we use Google Meetings or Zoom.
Without video, we use Slack chat.
When chat doesn’t cut it, miscommunications occur, and video isn’t possible, we try our best to call each other on our mobiles. We text each other sometimes too.
Ultimately, we use whatever means of communication is most efficient but also most clear. We know that miscommunication happens, so it’s important we keep ourselves accountable and responsible for switching up the communication method as soon as necessary.
Independent work style
We really don’t have rigid work structures and only have meetings when necessary. The best type of employee knows what they have to accomplish and can work as independently as possible.
Equipment
The two most important pieces of work equipment are a computer and a mobile phone. In our humble beginnings, we will provide stipends for each.
