Do you know what “Remote First” means when it comes with companies & jobs?

It’s not just a company hiring remote workers or any remote job. It goes a little bit deeper than that!

‘Remote First’ is a mentality, a culture & strategy used by companies where they prioritize remote work — and not just offer ‘remote work’ as an option. The location independence, flexibility & work-life balance is actualyl encouraged!

So what does this mean for companies AND for you as a remote worker?

Companies who want to stay competitive are implementing more innovative remote work policies that are even more flexible.

In this post, we'll discuss everything you need to know about ‘Remote First,’ including how it works, what benefits it offers, and a list of remote first companies hiring NOW!

What Is a Remote First Company & What Are the Benefits of Working for One?

Remote first companies operate from different locations around the globe & they empower their employees to work remotely. These companies also offer the most amazing benefits & perks out of all companies.

These companies are fully remote. Which means that ALL employees can work remotely — at home or from any other location where they feel comfortable. All that’s needed is good internet access and a computer. That means you can also work while traveling!

These companies are called "remote first" because their work culture and company policies are centered around remote work. They don’t just offer remote work as an option (like hybrid, ‘remote OK’ or ‘remote optional’ companies). Remote first companies believe that by offering employees a MORE flexible and customizable work schedule, they're also increasing employee productivity and creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
