Being remote-friendly and being remote-first are two very different ways of working. The latter requires a lot more intentional effort to be successful, and some teams are more experienced at working remotely than others.
We got a (virtual) room of representatives from Jumo, Allan Gray, Equal Experts, Matchbox Solutions, Luno and Nomanini together to discuss how each was dealing with going fully remote in response to COVID-19. We spoke about our pains, solutions, and successes with remote work, and shared how teams around the country - and around the world - were making remote work work.
