Bringing the team together
Our team at Factorial currently consists of 36 colleagues, 33 of whom are permanent employees and a small number of freelancers. We work from a total of 9 countries, including Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Serbia, Ukraine, the USA and Singapore. We combine 12 nationalities, speak a total of 30 languages and in our daily work we communicate in English. So we are used to working in different time zones and taking care not to schedule our meetings in such a way that some colleagues have to get up in the middle of the night. We took a close look and realized that 17 Factorial colleagues work remotely on a permanent basis. One of the longest since 2016 in a home office.
About handling family and work in one go
It is important to us that every employee is given the opportunity to integrate his/her family situation and leisure activities into the daily work routine. Some life situations require flexibility in work scheduling. We accommodate this and allow for individual arrangements. Our partners and our joint projects are a high priority for us. We have had many positive experiences talking openly with each other and finding a solution together for timings and appointments.
We have colleagues who take care of relatives in need of care, provide childcare in the afternoon, are on training courses or are involved in voluntary work. The basis for a good relationship between employees and the agency is to delegate responsibility and to be able to trust that everyone will do their job, act (manage) the projects and decide on their own responsibility at what time of day or when in the course of the project a task must be completed.
