What is a Remote-first Company? 

A remote-first company prioritizes remote work as the standard operating model, rather than an exception. This approach is embedded in the company’s culture and operational processes, ensuring that all employees, regardless of location, have equal access to opportunities and resources.

Characteristics of a Remote-First Company

• Technology Adoption: Utilizes technology to facilitate communication and collaboration across different locations and time zones.
• Inclusive Culture: Fosters a culture that supports remote employees fully, ensuring they feel as integral to the team as those in any physical office.
• Asynchronous Work: Encourages flexible work practices that allow employees to work according to their own schedules, promoting work-life balance.
