Happy Global Work From Home Day!
April 10th is a globally recognized day to celebrate remote workers and highlight the flexibility, focus, and productivity that come with working from home.
As a global remote company ourselves, this is an important day we like to support and observe with our team.
While most of our employees work from home, some prefer co-working spaces or embrace the digital nomad lifestyle — it’s all about what works best for them.
However, we have no formal office and lead with remote-first principles. In fact, our team is now dispersed throughout almost 30 different countries!
We value autonomy and the freedom to do your best work — regardless of where or when it takes place. What matters most to us is delivering results.
Why We Love Global Work From Home Day
As a remote-first company that helps businesses employ top talent around the world, we’ve seen firsthand the freedom, focus, and flexibility that remote work can provide when employees have the opportunity to live and work where they deliver their best results.
Not only that, we know that the ability to work remotely helps reduce turnover and leads to higher productivity.
Today isn’t just about skipping the commute — it’s a chance for companies and employees (especially those used to full-time office life) to experience the very real benefits of working from home.
Here’s are top five reasons why we love remote work, and Global Work From Home Day:
- Increased autonomy
- Better work-life balance
- No commute
- More family time
- Increased productivity
If you haven’t fully embraced remote work yet, today is the perfect day to test the waters and see how it could transform your team’s performance and happiness.
Because when remote works, work works better.
How We Approach Working Remotely
We think many companies tend to overthink their approach to remote work. But in reality, it doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be flexible.
For example, we don’t track anyone’s time at RemoFirst.
Every single person at the company has KPIs or expected deliverables. And as long as they deliver, it doesn't matter where and when they work.
They might work on a weekend, split their hours throughout the day, etc.
When you hire thoughtfully and lead with trust, it’s no surprise that people will rise to the occasion and do their best work.
Create an environment where everyone understands what needs to be done, the timeline to do it, and then give your team the freedom to deliver on their own terms.
Done.
It’s also fairly easy to spot if someone isn’t productive when deliverables are missed. So tracking time isn't necessary to spot issues.
Spotify’s HR chief said that remote staff aren’t "children" and reaffirmed their work from anywhere policy. And she’s exactly right.
So remember: get your hiring process down, dial in your work culture, set clear expectations, and trust your people.
That’s what it takes to build a great global remote company. No need to overcomplicate it!
