Doist

Despite the "return to the office" movement, remote and hybrid work models are clearly here to stay in the post-pandemic world. At Toggl, we've been running a remote team for almost a decade (time flies! ⏳), and we thought this milestone was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the journey and what we've learned. But we didn't want to do it alone! We've brought together a range of People Ops leaders and remote work experts to share their insights, experience and advice in our latest expert round-up article. Huge thanks to Dajana Berisavljević Đakonović (our very own People Ops pro), Chase Warrington, Alina Jesien, Jessica Z. and Iwo Szapar for contributing their expertise 🙏 Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eH9yYJFA

We're super-thankful to be recognized – in two categories – by Remote's 2024 Remote Excellence Awards! It takes tons of work to make remote work well, and we're thrilled to have the intentional and dedicated team we do, who prove each and every day that culture is more than co-location; it's connection, and needs to be carefully cultivated. We were especially honored to read the remarks of the judges, who know whereof they speak: June Bolneo, from WorkRemote: ”Doist have been at the forefront of remote working, truly embodying what it means to walk the talk. With years of experience under their belt, they've gained a significant edge in the industry. What sets them apart is not just their knack for attracting top talent, but their skill in keeping them onboard for the long haul.” Jessie de Groot, from Weaviate: "I love the innovative approach from Doist, they truly embrace the remote-first approach with their async way of working, their documentation approach (employee handbook), and hiring people worldwide. What I like about their talent strategy is their transparency (showing their benefits, people on their website), their perks and benefits designed for distributed teams, and the focus on connections sync and async. I believe all of this is the result of executing a great talent strategy." Thanks so much for the meaningful words, which will help fuel our team's continuing efforts to make the remote culture at Doist the best it can be. 🙏

Super excited and honored to join many friends and colleagues at Running Remote in Lisbon next year 🇵🇹 I'll be speaking on the power of in-person collaboration and how to build a retreat/offsite strategy that supports your distributed team. At Doist we're remote-first, empowering our team to work from anywhere. But we also know that building a successful distributed team involves occasionally coming together in the same physical space, to reinforce the connections that support our growth throughout the rest of the year. Maximizing the effectiveness of those precious few days together takes an intentional plan and a hefty investment, so I'll dive deep into our IRL strategy, and share some internal details that have driven a consistent 95%+ satisfaction rate with our offsite program. And there will be a ton of other great speakers and topics covered for anyone interested in the #futureofwork - I hope you'll join us!

The media narrative around remote work will have its ebbs and flows. But for those who aren't distracted by the "return-to-office" moment, and want to explore the diverse benefits of remote work, a guide to the landscape can help. That's why we're happy to present (and be presented in) Jordan Carroll's must-read book, Remote for Life. Explore the opportunities, embrace the possibilities, and learn from one of remote work leaders.
