onsite to fully remote
guest: sarah, head of business development at vault athletics
- test a four day work week with a trial period and survey employees to see if productivity actually holds up, not just morale
- build in forced rest between work sprints since burnout drops output just like it does for athletes in training
- replace office water cooler moments with small structured things like random small group chats or casual team channels for non work talk
- give people a personal development fund and a remote work stipend so they can choose what actually helps them, instead of generic happy hours
- let employees choose their schedule and location instead of forcing onsite days, since forced choices breed resistance and autonomy builds buy in
