5 tips to successfully working remotely
Many friends of mine, who work for different companies, have reached out to me asking ‘how do you do it?’ or for some tips, so I have written down what I think could be useful to most people working remotely today.
Outsourcing for OKR success
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) – these are not new. Like many great business concepts, they originated in the 1980s and have stood the test of time. Popularised by Google in the 2000s, they’re now common parlance across big business. Indeed, any smart business focussed on growth and profitability will have some kind of measurement framework in place, whether that’s referred to as OKRs or something else strategic goal-oriented.
Trends in offshore outsourcing – a new Brazilian horizon
2020's pandemic accelerated huge transformations towards global remote working. With IR35 and Brexit bringing skills challenges for the 2020s, Offshore Outsourcing to Brazil is a growing trend for software development.
Testing Technical Mettle
We recognise that all levels of skill are important for growth. A repetitive, boring task for one developer is a chance to learn something new independently for another. We have a strong emphasis on mentoring within the team – there’s something uniquely satisfying about seeing a colleague do well.
Finding Techifiders
How many companies do you know whose CEO conducts all first stage interviews? Is it a clever tactic, intended to intimidate potential candidates? Not at Techifide. For our founder, Ivan, the most important quality all Techifiders share is the ability to not take themselves too seriously.
Mums know best
In Techifide, we like to break paradigms, and we didn’t want our mums to contribute to the negative statistics that plague working mums, so we tried to be flexible with working hours and to listen to each mother’s individual needs so that we could provide them with the support they deserve.
Special recognition from the IT Industry
While many home-grown tomatoes are ripening across UK outdoor spaces, awards season is bearing fruit for our growing business. We’re delighted that Techifide has been selected as a finalist for Specialist Vendor of the Year in the Organisational Excellence section of the UK IT Industry Awards 2020. This national recognition at the highest level is a great achievement.
Growing together through a pandemic
Back in March 2020, COVID-19 was hitting Italy hard and we were starting to see the number of cases increase exponentially here in the UK. On the 23rd of March we went into nationwide lockdown. In Brazil, things weren’t looking very good either. Brazil, like the USA, is made up of many states with local governments and this decentralisation of power brought confusion and caused more harm than good.
