REMOTE WORK EVERYWHERE

Uniting a global team

It can be tough to coordinate work across 33 global locations, but Aercio De Melo credits the company with conscientious accommodations for a global team. As an Australian-based team member, he often relies on asynchronous communication to connect with his team during the hours that he is active. Aercio didn’t struggle much with the transition to fully remote work. “Some challenges are part of the deal, including isolation and occasional communication issues. But we are continually working to resolve those issues and overall the performance of the team is greater,” he said.

Remote work gives everyone better control over their environment, more flexibility culminating with a better well-being and work-life balance.
