Building a reliable async culture as more and more companies recall their workforce back to the office is easier than you think.
As companies increasingly push RTO mandates on engineering teams, it can be easy to revert to synchronous working patterns. Some might even believe that in-office and asynchronous work don’t align well together. But sharing an office space doesn’t negate async work; in fact, they can complement each other wonderfully.
It’s important to understand that asynchronous work does not equal remote work. While remote work is a matter of location (working from somewhere other than a central office), asynchronous work is a philosophy of communication and collaboration where team members don’t need to be online at the same time to get things done.
