What “Remote-First” Means and Why You Should Care

Great work comes from great people, regardless of where they are. For that reason, Narvar is committed to being a remote-first company with a global, distributed workforce.

In this blog, we’ll explore how employees (a.k.a. Narvarians) feel about working from wherever, and what you should know before you join our growing team.

Narvarians get honest about remote-first work

"Working at home has given me time back on the weekends. I save 2 hours a day commuting so I can use that time to do the housecleaning stuff like staying up on laundry. My next goal is to get a workout and walk in daily. Plus I can go pick up the kids from daycare now and I get an hour back with them each day. It's awesome to get to spend more time with them and my husband."

- Allison Loy

"In addition to the typical answers (no commute, more time for workouts, mental health etc) the biggest benefit of working remotely has been seeing how much trust has been fostered (and continues to grow) within this distributed workforce. We have teams across the globe and we truly get sh*t done together, with the trust that we can do it the way it works best for us as individuals. More companies should take note of this - broken trust between colleagues and managers/direct reports can be the biggest stressor in your professional/personal life, so I’m grateful that we have seen so much success with our distributed model!!"

- Ellie Ronning

"The biggest win for me working remotely is time. Saving 2 hours each day allows me to see the kids before they head off to school and be able to pick them up in the afternoon. Priceless time I can't get it back."

- Vu Nguyen

"Working from home is the best for my work/life balance. I'm currently sitting cross-legged, wearing yoga pants, eating lunch at my desk that I just made, with my dogs next to me, and can hear my kids downstairs. I get way more done with fewer distractions and wasted time, and I don't have to pay for gas or parking!"

- Sara Richmond

"The extra control/flexibility with my schedule and the time I get back from a lack of commute has been an absolute game changer for my sleep and my overall health! I've also been able to spend more time with my dog, and we've been able to go on little walks throughout the day which is a benefit to us both. I've also been able to visit and support my family because I can work wherever!"

- Colin Walton
