Can remote work have an impact on the culture of a company? Delve into Osom’s culture assessment and trace our path.

A great part of our team has never visited our headquarters. They just don’t have to. We hire online, onboard online, and collaborate with people who are separated by hundreds of kilometers. Since 2020, we have been a remote-first company. Although we had previous experience working in a hybrid model, the transition into a fully distributed team was no walk in the park. We had to enhance the way we think about communication, management, and building relationships among our Osom crew. Remote work has become the backbone of our organizational culture.
