At Dijital Team, we believe that a strong work culture is not defined by office walls – it is built on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. As a remote first company connecting skilled professionals from Sri Lanka with TSPs/MSPs, SIs and ISVs in Australia and around the world, we have crafted a culture that fosters engagement, productivity, and personal growth. Here is how we make it work.
1. Hiring the Right Talent
Our foundation for a thriving remote culture starts with hiring the right people. We seek self-motivated professionals who excel in independent work and proactive communication. Beyond technical skills, we prioritise cultural fit - ensuring every team member embraces our values of:
- GSD - don’t wait to do what is right
- Get 1% better every day - embrace change, reflect and grow
- Enjoy the journey - have fun and embrace others
- There's always a better way to do something - so, find it
2. Clear Communication is Key
In a remote environment, effective communication is non-negotiable. We utilise tools like Microsoft Teams to ensure smoother collaboration across different time zones. Regular check-ins, structured updates, and open communication channels keep everyone aligned and engaged.
3. Building a Sense of Community
A remote team can still feel like a close-knit community. Although we do have in-person events frequently organised at our office in Colombo, we understand that all our team members may not always be able to attend them. We try to conquer this challenge by fostering connection with each other with virtual team-building activities, knowledge-sharing sessions, and informal chats spreading camaraderie and team spirit. Whether it is a celebration of one's birthday or hosting an online team game, we ensure our team feels valued and included.
4. Flexibility Without Compromising Accountability
One of the biggest perks of remote work is flexibility. At Dijital Team, we trust our employees to manage their time effectively while delivering exceptional outcomes on time and maintaining high levels of professionalism. By setting clear expectations and measurable goals, we create a culture where flexibility and accountability go hand in hand.
5. Investing in Professional Growth
A thriving work culture nurtures career development. We provide access to learning resources, ongoing training, and upskilling through industry certifications - offering opportunities that help our Diji Legends stay ahead in the fast-evolving tech landscape. Our commitment to professional growth keeps our team members motivated and engaged.
6. Prioritising Work-Life Balance
Remote work can blur the lines between professional and personal life, but we actively encourage a healthy balance. Our team members have the autonomy to structure their workdays in a way that enhances productivity while allowing time for personal commitments. By promoting a culture of well-being, we ensure long-term job satisfaction.
7. Embracing Technology to Enhance Productivity
We leverage the latest tools and technologies to streamline workflows and enhance productivity. From cloud-based project management systems to AI-driven automation, we use smart solutions that empower our remote teams to perform efficiently and collaboratively.
