440 (What are you doing better since the pandemic?)
I already can't wait for Friday!
Let me back up. Since Transfinder went completely remote on March 13, that’s 171 days ago, we have had weekly meetings every Friday at 4:40pm. 440 is a special number for us because our headquarters is 440 State St. in Schenectady. We all love our headquarters. But our company is about the people not the place.
One of the things that has come out of this pandemic is the need for us to stay in constant contact with each other. A week after everyone left our headquarters to begin working from home we began meeting together every Friday afternoon to close out our week. These are upbeat, fun meetings that are about 15 minutes long and are focused on various themes. Last week’s theme was focused on music which was our theme all week. At Transfinder we love our music.
Gap Year!
4 年The most noticeable thing I see is the newly discovered proficiency with WebEx and Teams. Prior to March, it was always a struggle to get these meetings started on time. Now when I join at the exact start time, most people are already there.

4 年I love the perspective of bringing your team together virtually for a specific time each week. I can tell you I enjoyed the regular virtual meetings we had before our restructuring. I personally have committed to everyday exercise since the Pandemic and it has made me healthier and sharper. Best of luck to your team as you navigate through the Pandemic! I am sure your team will be stronger and and closer knit when this ends.
