Podcast Episodes

In this episode, we delve into the topic of remote work, discussing its growing trend and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its adoption.

In this episode, we explore various aspects of remote work, including the importance of establishing a culture and protocols around remote work, the need for technological resources, and the significance of clear communication channels. We discuss the preference for certain functions to work remotely or on-site and the challenges of maintaining human connection and ensuring proper technology use.

From personal experience, we’ve worked in both open plan and closed office environments and have found that a small room with five to six people sitting together works best. While an open space allows me to see how other people work, it can be distracting and hinder productivity.

We share our preference for a hybrid work model that allows me to spend time working in the office and remotely. We discuss the benefits of the social aspect of being in the office and having in-person interactions with colleagues, but also we appreciate the flexibility and autonomy that come with remote work.

We discuss the challenges of establishing connections when communicating remotely and how the expectations and tolerance for remote work have changed. We also explore alternatives to in-person interactions, such as playing video games or going on virtual walks, which may be more appealing to younger generations.
