The Remote Manifesto
All-remote work promotes:
- Hiring and working from around the world instead of from a central location.
- Flexible working hours over set working hours.
- Writing down and recording knowledge over verbal explanations.
- Written processes over on-the-job training.
- Public sharing of information over need-to-know access.
- Opening up documents for editing by anyone over top-down control of documents.
- Asynchronous communication over synchronous communication.
- The results of work over the hours put in.
- Formal communication channels over informal communication channels.
The remote vision
Being able to recruit and hire from most countries in the world is a distinct competitive advantage for Novu.
We are hopeful that our hiring advantage will diminish over time. This will signal that all-remote is becoming commonplace, with prospective employees having a broader selection of companies offering such a structure.
We believe that a world with more all-remote companies will be more prosperous, with more equally distributed opportunities.
Why is this possible now?
Here are some of the critical factors that make all-remote work possible:
- Faster internet everywhere - 100Mb/s+ cable, 5GHz Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE/5G cellular
- Video call software - Like Google Hangouts, Zoom, etc.
