ABOUT US:
We appreciate that time is our most valuable resource. That’s why we try to solve for happiness. Although our happiness is mostly defined by our relationship with ourselves, as an organization our goal is to ensure we don’t negatively affect that baseline. Some of the ways we do that are, removing processes and ideologies that get in the way of doing our best work, designing benefits that support a healthy relationship with our work, and engaging with ouroperating values to guide us in our work. We use these frameworks and more to build a thoughtful and resilient organization.
We also understand working for Nathan James isn’t the main function of your life, and we don’t expect that! We’ve found that a team member who will be happy and fulfilled as a remote team member at Nathan James is someone who generates their social energy and identity outside of work. That’s why we don’t create mandatory team hangouts or events. We focus on how to improve collaboration, not forcing engagement.
We focus on what we’re solving for, so we don’t create barriers or expectations that distract us from ourmission. We also don’t set unreasonable working hours, deadlines, or goals. We create with calm, “slow is smooth and smooth is fast”.
