One of the most anticipated events of the rather.chat calendar is just days away – our annual off-site strategy session! This time, we’ll be soaking in the beauty of Elgin Lodge from October 17-18, taking a step back to reflect on the past year and map out the future. There’s something powerful about getting out of the office and into nature - it helps us hit reset, think big, and reconnect as a team. These moments remind us why pausing, recalibrating, and engaging in meaningful discussions are so important for moving the business forward. By escaping the hustle and immersing ourselves in a fresh environment, we not only strategise but also build a stronger, more united vision for the road ahead. Every year, we return from this off-site, wondering why we don’t do it more often! We’re looking forward to thoughtful planning, team bonding, and of course, as many laughs as possible. Here’s a snapshot from last year’s event - what a memorable time it was!

🎉 Today, I want to share something a bit different. I joined #Perfitt in 2022, and I wanted to integrate the best practices I had learned from my previous workplaces into Perfitt before they faded from memory. 💡 I proposed and led an internal task force called "Fitple & Culture" (Fitple is our nickname for Perfitt members). I participated in two cohorts, and while there's too much to cover, I'll share one key insight from the first cohort about "how to work efficiently." Perfitt use #Slack as one of our main tools. When I joined, it seemed to be used merely as a messenger. My previous job utilized Slack very effectively, so I had some suggestions. Here are a few: 1. Profile Settings 📝 Back then, profile settings were inconsistent. It was hard to mention people by name, and there was no clear indication of their roles or responsibilities. We standardized the profile format and ensured all employees updated their profiles. 2. #Channels 📢 One major issue was the excessive use of DMs. It was difficult to track work progress, and repeating conversations was painful. Some days, there were no messages in the work channels from morning till evening. Fortunately, this is a thing of the past now. We organized necessary work and team-specific channels, such as performance sharing, work tips, general inquiries, industry news, and various notifications. 3. #Threads and Mentions 🔔 For those familiar with Slack, using threads is second nature. However, at Perfitt, there was no thread usage, and conversations were cluttered in the channels. Threads help keep discussions on the same topic organized. We also emphasized the use of mentions to ensure timely responses, creating a culture of quick and efficient communication. 4. Status Sharing 📅 We used the on-off channel to share availability, special work circumstances, and working hours. Now, seeing Fitples using Slack efficiently makes me proud to have contributed to our work efficiency. Thanks to everyone who participated in the Fitple & Culture TF. 🙌 #WorkEfficiently #TeamCulture #SlackTips #FitpleAndCulture #WorkSmart

When the pandemic hit, our Brucira team struggled to keep track of tasks remotely. Our simple to-do list technique was no longer sufficient. We needed something straightforward to manage our daily stand-ups and task callouts. 📝💼 Managing a team often feels like juggling multiple priorities. Especially in senior positions, the challenge is to keep track of everyone's work without micromanaging. Enter Brutask—a tool designed to streamline your day and boost team productivity. 💡🚀 That's how Brutask was born—out of necessity. 🌱 We needed something simple, something that could replicate our sticky note system and also work for a remote team. Brutask brought all our tasks and meetings into one place, reducing our mental load and making our stand-ups more efficient. 🗂️🖥️ Surprisingly, what started as a tool for us caught on with other teams, too. Now, over 3000 teams and individuals use Brutask to plan their days productively. It's been a journey from sticky notes to a tool that's making a difference. 🌍📈 What app do you use to manage your tasks, and what challenges do you encounter while using it? 💬❓ #brutask #brucira #teammanagement #teameffort #design #art #growthmindset

An Energizing Day at Metvy HQ! 🚀 Last week, I had an incredible opportunity to step away from the virtual world and spend a day working offline with the amazing team at Metvy. While we primarily moderate online work environments, taking the time to meet and work together in person was a game-changer. Our recent office meetup was a perfect blend of productivity, collaboration, and bonding. There’s something irreplaceable about face-to-face interactions that video calls just can’t replicate. Being in the same room allowed us to brainstorm more effectively, share ideas spontaneously, and solve problems faster. Offline collaboration isn't just about productivity; it's about fostering deeper connections and understanding among team members. It allows us to read each other's body language, share immediate feedback, and build trust that transcends virtual interactions. While our digital tools and remote work capabilities are top-notch, this experience reinforced the importance of balance. Combining the flexibility of online work with the rich, human connections of offline interactions creates a dynamic and resilient team culture. I'm grateful for the chance to engage with my team in person and look forward to incorporating these insights into our work culture strategies. Here's to many more moments of collaboration, innovation, and growth—both online and offline! 💼✨ #Teamwork #Collaboration #EdTech #offlinemeetings #Innovation #brainstorming #Growth

I’ve realized something amazing on my 4th work at Virtualspirit: I'm blissfully stuck in my comfort zone at work! But guess what? It's not a bad thing at all. In fact, it's been a journey of growth and learning. Every day, I collaborate with an incredible team, tackle exciting challenges, and contribute to projects that truly make a difference.
