The Washington Post recently released a blog highlighting what several companies are doing to challenge the status quo and reshape their meeting cultures for improved productivity and employee well-being. We’re honored to have taken part in the conversation! As shared in the blog, “Meeting overload continues to be a big problem for many office workers. In general, 68 percent of people say they don’t have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday, according to a study Microsoft released this year.” Here at Zapier, we’ve introduced a quarterly deep focus week, where we set goals and prioritize our work for an entire week. “It opened time on my calendar to get projects done that I couldn’t get done before,” said Danny Schreiber, senior business operations manager at Zapier, adding that leaders expect us to share what we’ve accomplished during the week. “It feels really good to not only share what you did but to hear what other folks did.” ⚡ Check out the blog to learn more about the effective strategies that are being implemented in support of wellness and productivity in the workplace.

Tiara Richardson, Sr. Content Designer at Zapier, recently sat down with PowerToFly to discuss the importance of self-care and workplace well-being. She openly shared her journey from facing burnout to learning how to put herself first. In the blog, Tiara shares: “I found a therapist I clicked with and who really understood me. She could see the signs of what I was going through. At the time, I really didn’t know much about self-care and hadn’t even heard the term. She helped me to see that I was not only giving more than I needed to in my career but also in my personal life.” Tiara also shared advice and strategies for those who are looking to achieve well-being at work. We hope you’ll enjoy this special blog and get to know another one of our amazing teammates here at Zapier!

In the latest Future of Work newsletter, the team at Forbes sat down with Wade Foster, CEO at Zapier, to discuss building culture amid remote work. Wade shared that he believes in-office work can be important for some types of businesses, but at Zapier, it’s not really that practical, hence why we’ve been #remote since day one.⚡He shared that it’s important to bring people together regularly, and we do this through annual company retreats (and more!), but remote work doesn’t hinder our creativity or productivity. Wade also highlighted the importance of having a set of principles that clearly articulate how things will get done. Here at Zapier, this shows up in our values and our code of conduct, and we’re in the process of rolling out some new resources to help others learn more about what it’s really like to work here and be fully immersed in a remote environment. As Wade said, it’s important that companies do their best to be clear about who they are so that those considering joining have enough information to make an informed decision. Stay tuned for new updates from Zapier as we head into the new year!

Are you familiar with the concept of T-shaped talent? Tracy St. Dic, the Global Head of Talent at Zapier, recently joined the HR Impact Show to discuss the concept of building teams with T-shaped talent. T-shaped talent refers to individuals who are highly skilled subject matter experts in one area (the vertical line of the T) and have a broad range of skills, knowledge, and experience (the horizontal line of the T). Tracy explained that T-shaped talent is optimal for organizations that require adaptability, collaboration, and innovation. She also shared how Zapier focuses on hiring and developing T-shaped talent, cultivating a mindset of flexibility, and rewarding employees who demonstrate T-shaped skills. Check out the podcast to learn more about T-shaped talent and how we’re leaning into the concept every day here at Zapier. ⚡
