At Scribd, Inc., our employees have the opportunity to work from almost anywhere in the world through our Scribdflex benefit. Although a favored perk, employees have increasingly been asking for more regular in-person co-working opportunities. So how do you bring ~300 dispersed employees across various cities together? Our CEO, Tony Grimminck, partnered with our People Experience team to brainstorm. The goal was to maximize the benefits of gathering – community, cross-functional connection, and collaboration – without a return-to-office mandate. Our answer: Hub Days - a once per month in-person co-working (and fun!) session taking place across 8 different cities and 3 countries. Amid some expected initial skepticism, our employees have found an overall positive energy and appreciation for in-person Hub Days, with many meeting co-workers and teammates they hadn’t interacted with in-person before. We’re only two Hub Days in so far and excited to see how this initiative grows in the months to come. We’re curious: how does your company bring employees together? #remotework #connection #coworking
