Last Rocket Home is on a mission to support companies in permanently adopting remote work.
When the world was thrust into remote work in 2020, we were all left scrambling. Many of us assumed this would be temporary. Today, it is clear that remote and hybrid structures are here to stay as companies compete for top talent and employees advocate for flexibility.
Permanent changes to the way we do work require a thoughtful strategy on supporting remote teams. This encompasses how your team accesses secured company resources, but also how they connect to you - and to one another.
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that people need people. Even the self-proclaimed anti-social among us have a very human need to be meaningfully connected.
Employees may no longer report to physical locations, but companies stand to reap the benefits of greater retention and innovation by providing a sense of belonging and community.
This is no easy or obvious task - which is why we're here to help you address that challenge.
Welcome to our community.
