🥰 Three things our team LOVED about the recent @mondaydotcom partner event in London: 1️⃣ Getting to meet other partners in person was such a highlight! It helped us gain insights and strengthen our collaborations. 2️⃣ Launching our apps on the monday.com app marketplace and being surrounded by other partners who share our passion was a thrill. It's only made us more excited about what's to come! 3️⃣ The opportunity to connect, share ideas, and lay the groundwork for future successes together! 4️⃣ The energy and enthusiasm at the event. 5️⃣ Sharing laughs and swapping stories. Okay, that was more than three things 😬, but can you blame us? We had a fantastic time, and it shows! 🎉

I often encourage business leaders to start with 1 of the four 1's. Start with employee time. Allow 1% of their time to be paid when they volunteer for a cause of their choice. That's ~20hrs per year/per employee. Volunteer time stacks up quickly and makes a huge impact.
We couldn't agree more. Learn how you can build a comprehensive #socialimpact program using Pledge 1's framework: bit.ly/3dKMDjw #Pledge1

Thank you @InformationWeek for the opportunity to share my perspective on the ongoing return to office debate. Check out my take on lessons from the past year and why trust and empowerment, along with flexibility and choice, are key. The bottom line: Balance, and success, is attainable in a hybrid world. @Appfire has been a remote-first company since inception and the model works. It all stems from applying a people-first approach in everything we do
In the ongoing #RTO debate, our CFO and COO @AlexTriplett believes one thing to be true: Trust works. Check out his latest piece in @InformationWeek to read about the 6️⃣ lessons he learned from last year’s RTO debate: informationweek.com/it-leade…
