🌟 Our Philosophy on Remote Work

At the usual neXt, we believe in authentic connections and using technology as a bridge to meaningful collaboration, not as a replacement for human interaction. Our remote work policy reflects our core mission: leveraging digital tools to enhance real-world experiences and genuine relationships.

🌍 Remote Work Framework

🔄 Hybrid-First Approach

We operate on a hybrid-first model that balances flexibility for deep, focused work with intentional in-person collaboration for creative projects and community building through regular team gatherings.

✅ Eligibility

Most positions are eligible for remote work. New hires participate in an onboarding period with increased touchpoints, while role-specific considerations apply for positions requiring physical presence such as dome installations and glamping operations.

📍 Geographic Flexibility

🗺️ Approved Locations

Primary locations include European Union time zones, while secondary locations encompass other time zones with core overlap requirements. Temporary travel requires advance approval.

⏰ Core Collaboration Hours

We maintain mandatory morning overlap for all team members while prioritizing async-first communication outside core hours. Team members are expected to maintain reasonable availability during business days.

🏠 Remote Work Standards

🏡 Home Office Requirements

Remote work requires a reliable internet connection and a professional workspace with a dedicated area for video calls. We provide equipment support with essential tools and require security compliance including VPN usage and secure practices.

💬 Communication Tools

Our communication infrastructure includes daily touchpoints through instant messaging platforms, video meetings for face-to-face interaction, project management systems for task tracking, and shared knowledge spaces for documentation.

🤝 Balancing Digital & Real-Life Connection

👥 In-Person Gatherings

We organize regular team retreats in rotating locations, product launches for key milestones, glamping workshops for hands-on experience with our offerings, and Luna Dolph events for community building activities.

✨ Optional In-Person Opportunities

Team members can access co-working support through shared workspace options, participate in team collaboration opportunities for peer interaction, and attend industry events including conference participation.
