Being a remote company isn't simply giving your employees a laptop and waving them out of the building. Remote employees want to be included, they want to be engaged, they want to feel as if they're part of something. That requires a serious remote strategy.

Remote working already has many environmental benefits. But we decided to take it a step further and become entirely #carbonneutral by the end of 2020. First step: measuring our current carbon footprint. We'll keep you posted on our progress!

MYTH: It is hard to communicate with remote workers REALITY: Remote workers realize that communication is vital (because people in the office can't see them). So they're proactive, quick to reply, and they get things done.

To those who had office jobs, but now work remotely: it's okay if things don't go smoothly right away. Remote work has many benefits, but it's still a big change that will require you to change your usual work habits. Give it some time. You'll find your way eventually.
