The company expects higher productivity and a stronger colleague value proposition
Careem is now a ‘Remote-First’ company, a recent press communique indicated.
Careem colleagues in 36 offices have the freedom to work from a remote location. The company’s physical offices will remain open and are being re-designed into spaces that facilitate collaboration and team building while also providing flexible workspaces for individual colleagues.
Careem anticipates that permanent remote working will increase productivity, reduce costs, and lead to an even stronger value proposition for talent. The shift will also save real-estate costs as offices get re-imagined and optimized for collaboration and flexible working rather than day-to-day.
“As the work from home continued, our colleagues started reporting higher productivity and found they valued the flexibility. That’s when we went to the drawing board to challenge our set of beliefs on work and productivity,” commented Mudassir Sheikha, CEO and Co-Founder, Careem.
