- Let’s correct the record: fully remote teams aren’t a bunch of asocial robots who believe human connection is a distraction from getting things done. Yes, we believe the freedom, autonomy, and focus provided by a remote, async-first approach is a competitive advantage when it comes to creating an excellent employee experience. But we also recognize the irreplaceable value of face-to-face interaction. (View Highlight)
- At Doist, everyone has the opportunity to meet with teammates in real life twice a year: once for a company-wide retreat of our ~100 employees and once for a mini-retreat with their immediate team. (View Highlight)
- I read books and articles on the subject of team gatherings, reviewed our team’s feedback from previous retreats, and spoke to countless other remote leaders. With all these different approaches and perspectives in mind, I developed the “20/30/50” rule. Our time together consists of:
• 20% - Dedicated work sessions
• 30% - Planned social and entertainment activities
• 50% - Rest, relaxation, free time (View Highlight) - Remote teams should not travel across the world to do their typical day-to-day work together. (View Highlight)
- Instead, we see a retreat as a unique opportunity to realign the team around our core values and mission statement. So when we do work, we deliberately connect the dots between the work we choose to focus on and our deeper organizational goals. (View Highlight)
- We fully embrace remote, async work 50 weeks per year, and let these two weeks fill in the gaps where needed. That formula, powered by the 20/30/50 approach, is working well for us at Doist. (View Highlight)
