Company Interview with Maxime, Co-founder and CTO of Digicoop

First of all, at the moment we have only hired people with remote work experience. So we clearly removed a lot of the possible challenges.

Secondly, the built-in trust a worker cooperative offers removes all the fear usually associated with remote.

Finally, we have set up the infrastructure needed to ensure that remote would work for everybody:

no paper policy
full set of online tools for daily work
company mailbox from a service which scans our mail as PDF, so there is no need to go anywhere (administrative documents are still often mail-based)
online accountant

Generally speaking, we have nothing that is dependent on a location, and any new service that we purchase must not be location dependent.

I think the infrastructure aspect of remote work is greatly underestimated.

From making employees shareholders to letting workers take control of their roles, Maxime describes Digicoop's path to remote success.
