Where Does Your Team Work?

Remote, hybrid, or in-person? For many founders, the answer keeps changing. We asked six leaders where they are now, and the calculations that landed them there.

- 

1/ We followed our employees to hybrid.

“We’ve cycled through in-office, hybrid, and fully remote over the years. Recently, we made the move back to hybrid. We have employees across the U.S., so we always host larger team meetings online. But we have a large cohort of employees in San Diego who desired more in-person time. We find the hybrid blend to be perfect. Remote-first supports flexibility and autonomy. But we also have a central hub available for organic collaborations.”

—SAMANTHA PANTAZOPOULOS, cofounder, Vizer

2/ Remote is best for our team of parents.

“We are remote all the way! My team is made up of many moms, and being remote allows me to flex their schedules to fit their needs. They can be more present and spend more time with their families, and they do better work from home. There are some roles that can’t be remote, but anything that can be will be. We have an office employees can work from if they’d like, but only maybe one person works there a few hours a week.”
