Remote policy


At MadKudu, we value the team spirit, so the default option is to come to the office every day. It is not about performance, it is about culture and being here for teammates. When you come to the office, you can see if a teammate is feeling down and you can be there for them. And if you have a success, you can also be there to share it with the team.

But also to ensure more flexibility MadKudu enables kudus to work from home "home office" / "remote".

It is always a complicated topic and we want to make it simple: we have an open remote policy.

Meaning: you can do remote sometimes if there are no scheduling conflicts. We'll not decide for what reason you can/ would like to do it. We have a performance and trust-based culture and you're responsible for both your objectives and schedule.



Guidelines

Everyone should have in his/her user manual the hours they'll be at the office.


🎈Why

  • we'll not decide for you, you know why you need to WFH
  • global policy is open, and each team has its own policy with the manager in charge (it is normal, due to specific tasks)

🎈Where

  • you should work from home or a private space
  • if not: you'll have to sign a special document to protect yourself (security and work laws, especially in France)

🎈When

  • we'll not decide for you, you know when you need to WFH
  • TBD with your manager

🎈How

  • you need to have your material with you to do your job properly (laptop, charger, internet access, VPN, etc)
  • just ask and validate it with your manager
  • if you can, let your team know before D day 🙂
  • write it on slack on the D day so people will not look for you in the office

🎈Limits:

  • in every case, we would like you to attend 2 times a year retreat and be on-site as much as possible (for instance: as Hac does)
  • when onboardings: managers and team have to be at the office during the first weeks
  • team building + team lunches + events you have to attend
  • when working from public spaces, be especially careful with security, data, open laptop and confidential informations 🙏🏽
  • if we can't see you on slack or reach you that day we may want to discuss/review the organisation with you

🎈France only:

  • if you want to work later than your official schedule, you should validate it with your manager (especially in France, french law)
