Remote Work
Remote work is new. Remote work is independence location-wise. It is working together from remote locations through the Internet. Be it your bedroom in San Francisco or the beach in Bali.
Most of the team members have never seen each other. That's somehow strange. Some have seen some, many have seen only few, many have also seen no one, but no one has seen all!*?
And we do this to 100% - which means: No one is sitting next to each other. No one.
Why all that?
This is a long story, and it started in the beautiful ancient country India. We love India and thought we might establish here an office, as the living costs are low. While people like to come to India, they also go back or go travelling after a few months. A stable international team we can not built under the sun of south India.
In the moment we understood this - there was the thought - we are going it 100% remote. This means, not two team members sitting next to each other. Internally we called it "We have no office, but it works!". As we do not like negative statements we do not use this term anymore.
Born out of budget limitations is has proven to be one of the fundamental descisions in the venture Earth.org. So the idea was born: Let people do whatever they want, wherever they want. Some wants to travel, some wants to surf, some work aside of their jobs, some one to take care of their children.
The main point is: We are pleased to work with the best all over on our beautiful planet earth.
So, who ever works for Earth.org can work from wherever he wants, be as ever he wants and work basically however it fits to him. The only thing required: A positive attitude.
Earth.org - meet the team!
At Earth.org we have no office! Our team members are placed all over the globe. We work from the beach or in the mountains, in cities or at the countryside, at home with kids or whilst traveling.
Our big challenge: How can we communicate in such a remote team? We decided – just open!
Visit blog.earth.org and meet the team - you can see us while we work at Earth.org, the open travel guide.
We invite you to look around and join the discussion!
(We use the P2 Wordpress Theme - which allows us real time updates and fast comments. We love it!)
