VIRTUAL FIRST

The workplace of the future

As the makers of software that helps people work from anywhere, it’s only fitting that Dropbox attributes virtual collaboration as key to its thriving business. Its products are defined by bringing people together to work and share content across time zones, keeping everyone in the loop with real-time updates about the latest projects or changes. “Virtual First is one of the key reasons I love working here,” Amado Hidalgo, who works in global solutions enablement, said. “We may not realize it sometimes, but we’re leading the revolution of the way people work.”

I talk to friends and customers at other companies about how they do things, and we’re light years ahead!

FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY

Focusing on work that matters

Dropbox has embraced the brave new world of distributed work — and it’s anything but scary. The team is thriving under its Virtual First model, maintaining its tight-knit culture while empowering people to work wherever they’re most effective. “Point-blank, Virtual First allows me to have flexibility in creating my own schedule — something I’ve never had the luxury of doing in the past,” Sourcing Manager Lauren Korth said. “The entire company is mindful when booking meetings, encourages working asynchronously when needed and is respectful of everyone’s personal time.”

As a mother of two, I am able to prioritize the small moments with my children that I would not have the opportunity to do if I were working in an office.

A more enlightened way of working

Remote work may have started as a necessity, but Virtual First is now an indispensable tool for Sudipti Garvey. “Virtual First means having the best mental health I’ve ever had,” the Seattle-based product designer said, highlighting one of the many significant benefits of Dropbox’s shift to a digital workplace. “The time I spend at work is much more productive since I don’t have any distractions and can control my time a lot more. I feel much healthier and happier, and I have a lot more time to live life outside of work.

The happier you are in your day-to-day life, the better you’re able to show up for work in the same way.
