How we balance remote and office work at Dwarves

Hybrid working

If you’re doing creative work, research suggests you’ll want to be surrounded by ambient noise. A café or co-working space is the perfect choice in this case. If you need to focus on a specific task, however, you’re going to want silence as quiet spaces help us focus on straightforward tasks.

Places to work

The Dwarves HQ is in Saigon, Vietnam. Fifty-ish people and two cats have desk space in the Saigon office, but those people also work from home regularly. We expand the office space when the old one is full and people want the new office. Anyone is welcome to visit Saigon and work from the office at any time.

Where we work

Being office-present keeps you effective. Firms lean on that. It explains why companies are down to invest a fortune on building creative office with other benefit packages. There's nothing wrong about that. I'm just saying there are others ways to keep people.

Make remote working works

Some useful practices we adopted to keep the remote working system goes smoothly. This policy is written in the context of our current company setup.
