It felt like sitting around a campfire, talking, laughing, and bonding with friends — except in a 45-minute session.” Kevin Lee, Co-Founder, immi — We believe that the workforce has just barely begun to scratch the surface of what teams can accomplish with the right tools. Remote and flexible teams are more productive and more equitable — and when we break down silos, learn and align together, and get connected to do great work? The sky's the limit.
