All Hands on Deck: How These Tech Teams Build Strong Remote Cultures

While our offices are over 700 miles apart, the distance doesn’t stop us from embracing our motto – “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.” Built In Austin recently featured three tech teams who keep their entire team “in the know,” no matter their location or distance from headquarters. Can you guess who made the list?

At AdAction, our people enhance our unique and inclusive workplace environment. And while our two offices are spread between Denver and Austin, the culture stays strong. We may throw happy hours for new employees and celebrate team members’ life achievements separate from each office, but our emphasis on work-life balance is present no matter the location. So, how do we make it all work? Well, the simple but honest answer is communication. Strong communication at AdAction begins with our team members and the relationships they’ve built. This is why we have a three-part interview process that ends with our CEO, ensuring candidates are the perfect fit for the AdAction family.

“While it can be a challenge to have offices in different locations, it is our ability to communicate with each other that empowers us to preserve our culture in both offices,” said Dianne Wright, Manager of People and Culture. “We make sure that the Denver and Austin teams are provided the same resources, flexibility, and activities to ensure they have work-life balance.”

Communication is just the beginning of how we bring our two offices closer together. Each year, Denver and Austin join forces for our annual staff retreat. The all-inclusive getaway trip is a prime opportunity for our employees to interact with the entire team and make new friends.
