We believe that what gets recognized, gets repeated, so if the key to retention and engagement is employees who feel appreciated, how do we make them feel appreciated? Distributed Props for Distributed OpsĪlthough Breather HQ is in NYC and Montreal, we operate in 10 cities across three countries and twoĬontinents. One big idea that came out of a meeting was the need to ensure everyone has visibility on what other parts of the business were working on, and the need to recognize each other for the work being done.

The team meets bi-weekly to share their successes and to talk about ideas on how to improve life at Breather. To achieve this, we put together a department ambassador team representing each department and geographic location. We needed to apply the distributed model that we’d applied to our business to our culture. Since doing all of the above is really important to us, we needed to find a better way to communicate. That means we sometimes lose track of what another city team or department has achieved, forget to share our own successes or give each other props for good work. Journey to the Centre of our Cultureīreather’s culture is vibrant, fast moving and growing. One solution? A Slackbot that lets us stay connected and engaged. People didn’t feel their work was being adequately recognized and we wanted to make In January, as we prepared to launch in five new cities in a matter of weeks, that’s the question we found ourselves asking. What do you do when you have over 100 employees across three countries, all working towards the same goal, but with limited visibility on each other’s day-to-day? How do you ensure they feel their work is valued and how do you make that work visible to the whole company? Our Culture Manager and Director of Engineering came together to amplify Breather ’s culture.
