People who wait to be trained will find this uncomfortable • THE ZEGO WAYS OF WORKING 🏡 • Teams work better with time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it Zego Hybrid: some of us are in our office (central London or Halifax) weekly, others monthly or quarterly. It's about finding the balance between face time and focus that produces great work and a healthy life around it. • We also make a point of getting everyone in the same room. Teams come together every quarter, and once a year the whole company does, properly. It's a serious investment and consistently one of the best parts of the year. • Here is what the last one looked like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKOYDx6AMxQ.
