Bucharest – Septembrie 21, 2021: Innobyte, a Romanian software development company specialized in eCommerce and one of the main players in this market, announces that it has decided to offer team members the opportunity to work remotely indefinitely, without forcing them to return to the office.
Four years ago, Innobyte successfully implemented a work from home project through which team members could choose whether they wanted to work from the office or home on Mondays every week. The Work from home Monday program was appreciated by employees and management, and the company registered the same productivity and increased the team’s well-being.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020, the Innobyte team has operated remotely. After analyzing several work scenarios, productivity reports and employee surveys, the company decided to continue with an exclusively remote work system without imposing a deadline to return to the office while offering the possibility to colleagues who want to work from the headquarters in Bucharest or Cluj.
“Since the pandemic’s beginning, we have proven that we can run our activity very well in a remote system. We were constantly close to our colleagues, both online, through regular video meetings, formal and informal, in which we could find out their preferences regarding returning to the office, and offline, by organizing a meeting with all colleagues. Our team works excellently remotely. This benefit contributes to the well-being and creates the feeling of security in the persistent context of the pandemic, and we want to maintain a framework adapted to the needs of the team members.” Cătălin Bordei, Managing Partner Innobyte.
