Summary
Atlassian has implemented a "Team Anywhere" policy that allows employees to choose between remote, in-person, or hybrid work. This flexibility has empowered employees to make decisions about where they live. While other companies are requiring employees to spend more time in the office, Atlassian has maintained its remote work rules. The switch to a distributed workforce has been overwhelmingly positive for the software firm, but there are still challenges, such as finding a balance for younger employees who prefer in-person work and working across different time zones. Despite these challenges, Atlassian has seen benefits in recruitment and retention, with twice as many applications for each open role and an increase in the number of veterans, spouses of active military members, women, and parents working at the company. Overall, remote work has led to happier employees and a more human way of working.
