How has your transition to remote work made your company more competitive?
At Cambium, we are working to define the future of education to ensure all teachers and students feel seen, valued and supported. This guiding purpose also extends to our employees. As the pandemic altered how we do our jobs, it was essential for us to adapt so that our staff could continue to innovate and provide the best solutions to the communities Cambium and its business units serve. With our transition to a Remote First work model, employees were given the flexibility to create a work-life balance that best suits them. This supportive policy allows employees and teams to work collaboratively, inclusively and create a greater positive impact on the education technology industry. Since accelerating its transition to a remote workforce in March of 2020, Cambium has gone on to have its two most successful years to date.

The added flexibility is focused on driving innovation, improving equity across the company, and putting people first.

At Momentive, we aspire to be “a place where the curious come to grow” and offer an environment where employees can do the best work of their lives—whether that is fully in-office, fully remote, or hybrid. We believe that choice is the future of work. It leverages everything we’ve learned about remote work and puts employees in the center of decision-making. It positions Momentive to attract and retain the best talent—and also win with our customers. We used our own solution to gather employee feedback, which played a crucial role in shaping the choice program from inception to execution.
What are the major benefits of being remote for your particular workforce?
The choice model creates a necessary balance of freedom and accountability, supporting our employees’ ability to make an impact and integrate life and work in the way that works best for them. This model also allows employees to preserve important time free of meetings to be productive, while still creating space and time for important collaboration. Lastly, the choice model allows us to hone in on inclusivity: we are better able to hire outside of Silicon Valley while keeping the Momentive experience inclusive with team all-hands, staff meetings, and town halls all virtual.
