A NEW TOOL FOR REMOTE WORKERS GET TOGETHER
|
Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last 5 years, you’ve probably noticed that people tend to trade their normal 9 to 5 ''in-office'' life for the freedom of working remotely. From sandy beaches to busy world capitals, digital nomads can set their office anywhere they want, using their computer and a good wifi connection.

Employers around the world rapidly adapted to this new reality and now more than ever, they embrace it. It's the beginning of a new era; progressing from the typical “you have to be at the office” to a “work from wherever you want as long as you deliver” era. Employers, as well as remote contractors, benefit a lot from this new approach. However, while face to face interactivity becomes less present, it doesn't mean it's less important. It is of an utmost importance for a a company that hires remote workers to connect their employees together and create a strong network. That’s why employers tend to organize get-togethers from time to time for team building purposes and rewards for team performance.
On the other hand, having to organize a meetup with people coming from all around the globe can be quite challenging. Where is the most cost and time efficient destination to gather everybody? Is there nice lodging or eating options nearby ? Plane tickets, hotels and food prices tend to vary a lot depending on where you want to go and finding the winning scenario takes a lot of time and research.
Well, not anymore!
