One minute you’re on cloud nine, productively working on your collaboration tool until… A new member joins the team, and you must add them to every relevant channel of your platform. You include that new user and have to repeat the manual process over and over. Suddenly you’re worried about how you’ve been using your time.

It’s been more than half a year since I joined Exoprise. When Covid-19 struck last year, it became clear that companies would expand their hiring requirements beyond local regions and find suitable candidates (just like me!). Remote work and the requirement for on-boarding remote workers no longer became a luxury. This is reflected in job portals and HR sites such as Indeed and Glassdoor where they began to insert a new tag “Remote WFH Option Available”.
