For some companies, those days of punching the clock are long gone. They get that results are way more important than the number of hours worked, and they allow their people to work when and where they feel the most productive.
Imagine this – a company where people work when they feel the most energized and creative, and going into an office is completely optional. Now let’s take it one step further and visualize a company that has no office.
Piktochart has a 100% remote workspace! In a remote environment, beautiful visuals are a must to strengthen internal communications. It offers professional templates for creating presentations, reports and infographics. Sign up for free to get unlimited access to the templates.
Today on episode two of our new podcast on the future of work, we’re taking an in depth look at those fully-distributed teams – the companies that don’t require their people to go into an office at all. We chat with the good people of SchoolKeep, Buffer, Hanno, and Toggl and learn about how they run their distributed teams.
These are companies made up of people collaborating remotely across a handful of different time zones, from North America to Asia. and you can bet that no one is asking them to punch the clock.
