Why the DOT Team Loves Working Remotely: The Benefits of Flexibility, Productivity, and Trust
Working remotely has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason.
Remote working offers many benefits, like increased productivity, freedom, and flexibility 🔥
DOT & Co. is a fully remote team, so this week on the podcast we chat with Jillian, who has been a remote Client Account Manager for almost 2 years.
We dive into what Jillian's day-to-day looks like. She loves having the ability to plan her day around what calls she has on, whether she thinks she'll work better at a coffee shop that day or choose to knuckle down at home to get work done.
This flexibility allows her to be more efficient and get more done in less time.
