6 strategies to keep your company culture thriving in a fully remote workplace

Worried about losing your company culture in a fully remote environment? You're not alone. Transitioning to remote work can feel like stepping into the unknown—but it doesn't have to.

As a company that has successfully operated fully remote for three years, we’ve learned a lot about what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to fostering a strong, vibrant culture. In this newsletter, we’re sharing 6 proven strategies to help your team build and maintain a strong company culture in a fully remote environment. Whether you're exploring remote work or looking to refine your approach, these tips will guide the way. Let’s dive in!

1. Be open to making changes along the way

Flexibility is key. When we went fully remote, we prioritized helping employees adapt to the new environment. But we also realized that what works today might not work tomorrow. Staying open to feedback and being ready to adjust is essential for long-term success.

2. Provide individual solutions

Every employee is different, and their workspace needs can vary. To ensure everyone thrives, we started with individual conversations to understand specific requirements, providing personalized equipment and support. This attention to detail helps our team feel valued and motivated.

3. Transparency is key

Trust and open communication are the foundation of remote work. We’ve built a culture of transparency by making decisions openly, ensuring everyone has access to important information, and encouraging input from all team members.

4. Don’t lose connection

Remote work doesn’t mean disconnected work. Tools like Slack keep us aligned and engaged. Our developers channel supports daily standups and quick ticket escalations, while our random channel gives the team a space to share interests and bond over non-work topics.

5. Plan physical meetups

Even in a remote world, in-person connections matter. Three times a year, we host team events both in Sweden and abroad. These events combine brainstorming sessions, team-building activities, and shared meals—strengthening our team spirit and creativity.

6. Regular check-ins

1-on-1 meetings and anonymous surveys help us stay in tune with our team’s needs. These touchpoints allow us to address challenges early, provide support, and ensure our colleagues feel cared for—both professionally and personally.

By following these strategies, we’ve maintained a thriving company culture while being fully remote. The secret? Stay connected, be transparent, and never stop listening to your team.
