Sometimes, things happen. Plans to get your team together for an on-site can be foiled by canceled flights, traffic, and reservation mix-ups. We’ve experienced this ourselves at Sococo. In January 2017, in the midst of winter storms that slammed the Pacific Northwest, our dev team had an on-site meeting planned in Eugene, Oregon. Despite […]
Advances in technology are making it easier and easier not to talk to the people we work with. Why meet with your colleague in person when you could give them a call, send them an email, or shoot them a chat? And, when your team is distributed between cities and time zones, that communication becomes […]
We all have different names for it: the middle of the week, Hump Day, Worst day. Whatever you call it, Wednesday is good for more than just getting us one step closer to the weekend—it’s also the best day of the week to work remotely. It may seem more logical to work from home or […]

Hiring new employees can feel like a risk. And in fact, it is. SHRM research recently showed that half of all hourly workers leave new jobs in the first four months, and half of all senior outside hires fail within 18 months. This places huge import on the interview and onboarding process for a company, […]
In a distributed team, diversity can mean a number of things. Removing the barrier of geographic proximity and the need to commute can be a great advantage in getting the best possible people for the job. More and more, we’re seeing businesses take advantage of the flexibility of a distributed office to hire across borders […]
One of the greatest perks of working from home is the ability to work hard in your comfiest clothes. But remote teams also need to be able to hold video meetings for that all-important face-to-face time. Whether it’s an impromptu chat with your coworker three time zones away, a distributed happy hour, or an intense […]
Getting to know new coworkers is relatively easy when you work together in a physical office space.

But if you’re working from a home […]
