The workforce has never been more reliant on technology, but with that dependence comes responsibility to provide the best work experience possible for your employees.

Nearly two years into the pandemic, the remote work “experiment” has become just the way work gets done. But it’s still important to imitate some of the benefits of the in-person office. Tech platforms like Cleary are tackling this challenge with a “digital lobby,” where workplace leaders can announce company news and celebrate employee milestones, like work anniversaries and birthdays. And other employers are taking note: tech provider Datasite has an internal bonus platform where employees collect points for a job well done, and then convert those points into gifts and rewards.

What does office culture look like when there’s no longer an office? Accenture estimates that 63% of high-revenue companies and tech startups are embracing hybrid or fully remote models. And to make sure employees still feel like part of a team, many are investing in technologies that build strong cultures in the digital world.

Contributor Bruce Shutan spoke to the co-founder and CEO of Cleary, who is tackling this issue by creating ‘digital lobbies,’ which help to humanize colleagues and highlight workplace and personal milestones.
