Transition to Remote Work
Since 2019 all our team members work remotely from the USA to Europe and Asia. In 2023 we finally got rid of our office in Karlsruhe, Germany. We believe remote work is enhancing productivity as it fosters creativity and deep work.
Team Insights on Remote Work
What our team members say: Ensuring synchronous and asynchronous communication between team members and teams we use for instance Slack, Zoom, and Google Suite. Being able to focus on projects and deep work enhances remote work productivity. Taking breaks is necessary to stay focused. Flexible working hours ensure high-quality customer support and prompt problem-solving.
The possibility to work from everywhere and when they want motivates our team members and fosters remote work productivity. Furthermore, every team member can work whenever they are most productive. To ensure ergonomic and professional workplace setups, every team member gets a hardware budget. Trainings and conferences are a fundamental base for productivity. Therefore, every team member gets a learning and development budget each year.
According to a study by Stanford University, remote work can lead to a substantial increase in productivity, with remote workers showing a performance increase equivalent to an extra full day's work in a week. This can be attributed to a quieter, more comfortable work environment and reduced distractions, contributing to remote work productivity.
Cultivating a Supportive Remote Work Culture
To navigate challenges and enhance remote work productivity, organizations must cultivate a supportive remote work culture. This involves encouraging regular breaks, setting clear boundaries, and providing tools for effective communication and collaboration. Additionally, fostering a sense of community among remote workers can contribute to increased engagement and productivity.
Conclusion: The Future of Remote Work
At the end of the day, remote work productivity in a remote work setup is about more than just getting things done. It's about ensuring that remote workers feel supported, valued, and part of a team, thereby enabling them to do their best work. As we celebrate World Productivity Day, let's take a moment to recognize the potential of remote work to boost productivity and reshape the future of work.
