Internal Policy

We are passionate about optimizing our team's efficiency and ensuring that our time is dedicated to activities that truly necessitate synchronous collaboration. We believe that while meetings serve specific purposes, they often become an inefficient use of our most valuable resource: time. Therefore, we have embraced a policy of no standing and no recurring meetings, with a focus on reducing their occurrence to only essential use-cases.

By adopting this approach, we empower our team members to manage their time effectively, allowing them to dive deep into their work and deliver exceptional results. We recognize that constant meetings can disrupt the flow of productivity and hinder individual progress. Instead, we encourage communication and collaboration to take place asynchronously whenever possible, leveraging modern tools and technologies that facilitate seamless collaboration across distributed teams.

We value the importance of effective communication, and we understand that there are instances where face-to-face interactions are necessary. In such cases, we encourage purposeful and outcome-driven meetings that are focused on critical decision-making, brainstorming sessions, and fostering meaningful connections among team members.

Our no standing and no recurring meetings policy reflects our commitment to creating an environment where every team member can thrive, unleashing their full potential and driving impactful outcomes. By minimizing unnecessary meetings and optimizing our collaborative efforts, we enable our team to prioritize their work, deepen their expertise, and contribute to the collective success of our mission.

Then when do we meet?

1. Making decisions Certain decisions require collaborative input and real-time discussions. When it comes to important strategic choices or cross-functional initiatives, we gather for focused meetings to exchange ideas, align perspectives, and reach consensus. These meetings ensure that decision-making processes are inclusive, transparent, and based on a comprehensive understanding of the matter at hand.
2. Feedback We value open and constructive feedback as a crucial aspect of personal and team development. Regular feedback sessions provide an opportunity for team members to share insights, exchange perspectives, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement. These meetings promote growth, enhance collaboration, and drive excellence within our team.
3. Quality Time While we embrace a flexible work environment that accommodates remote work, we highly value spending quality time together. As a team working towards a shared goal of building the future of data, we consider ourselves a big family. We recognize the importance of fostering personal connections, strengthening relationships, and nurturing a sense of belonging. Therefore, we designate specific time for team-building activities, virtual social gatherings, and collaborative sessions that bring us closer together.

Outside of these specific scenarios, we encourage the use of asynchronous communication channels, such as email, project management tools, and collaborative platforms, to facilitate ongoing collaboration and ensure that everyone can focus on their work with minimal disruptions.

We embrace a more efficient and mindful approach to meetings, empowering our team members to make the most of their time and achieve extraordinary results.
