Engineering productivity lessons from Covid-19

The world became a different place post COVID-19 and how we work, communicate and collaborate has been redefined — possibly forever. Our company has a distributed team across the U.S. and India for development and operations.

Most of our engineers rarely worked from home and in India, some even left their homes to be with extended families and parents during lock-down.

Listening and sharing - Employee health and safety was top priority when lock-downs began, and it started with active listening to employees.

Empowerment at each level - As we enter this next phase of Covid-19, with many of us fully engaged in some form of “new normal,” we have focused on aligning producers and consumers of deliverable to ensure they are fully engaged and understand the dependencies.
