Doist’s Post

We're super-thankful to be recognized – in two categories – by Remote's 2024 Remote Excellence Awards! It takes tons of work to make remote work well, and we're thrilled to have the intentional and dedicated team we do, who prove each and every day that culture is more than co-location; it's connection, and needs to be carefully cultivated. We were especially honored to read the remarks of the judges, who know whereof they speak: June Bolneo, from WorkRemote: ”Doist have been at the forefront of remote working, truly embodying what it means to walk the talk. With years of experience under their belt, they've gained a significant edge in the industry. What sets them apart is not just their knack for attracting top talent, but their skill in keeping them onboard for the long haul.” Jessie de Groot, from Weaviate: "I love the innovative approach from Doist, they truly embrace the remote-first approach with their async way of working, their documentation approach (employee handbook), and hiring people worldwide. What I like about their talent strategy is their transparency (showing their benefits, people on their website), their perks and benefits designed for distributed teams, and the focus on connections sync and async. I believe all of this is the result of executing a great talent strategy." Thanks so much for the meaningful words, which will help fuel our team's continuing efforts to make the remote culture at Doist the best it can be. 🙏

The media narrative around remote work will have its ebbs and flows. But for those who aren't distracted by the "return-to-office" moment, and want to explore the diverse benefits of remote work, a guide to the landscape can help. That's why we're happy to present (and be presented in) Jordan Carroll's must-read book, Remote for Life. Explore the opportunities, embrace the possibilities, and learn from one of remote work leaders.

Big thanks to Ricardo Esteves for this in-depth DesignRush piece on how Doist does remote & async. 🙏 Skip the clickbait WFH-RTO drama, and go in-depth on a topic that really matters: how to build a culture with values that support remote and async work, like autonomy and communication.
