Atlassian

It’s fitting that Atlassian, a leading provider of collaboration, development, and issue tracking software for teams, would be leading the charge when it comes to employee flexibility in the new era of work. With nearly half (47%) of new hires living more than two hours away from a physical office, the company not only doesn’t have in-office work requirements, but it also doesn’t expect employees to work a traditional nine-to-five. That, however, requires intentionality in socializing employees and introducing new hires to the company and colleagues in the name of building culture. Atlassian asks new employees to share introductory blogs, assigns them all new-hire buddies, and offers a peer-to-peer recognition program called Kudos, where employees can win gifts of up to $250. “Everyone has an opportunity to get special recognition,” 93% of employees say.
