What do you offer and how does it help, what problems do you solve? 

Wurkr enables team management and employee wellbeing and encourages impromptu social interactions in distributed teams. It empowers teams through collaboration and creativity by enabling spontaneous chats and building/maintaining company culture within remote teams.

Wurkr makes it simple and easy to onboard new team members. It allows them to quickly feel a part of the company within a distributed team environment from wherever they choose to work around the globe.

Give us a bit more detail…

“With out students studying remotely, Wurkr is the best system we’ve found for creating a virtual environment that can facilitate the kinds of informal and dynamic interactions that are so essential to building a successful learning community in higher education.  We will be using Wurkr to bring our students together and help them collaborate and socialize.”

“We were looking for an online workplace solution that simulates a real office environment. The objective was to facilitate collaboration and improve productivity. Wurkr has turned out to be a perfect match for our needs. It made an instant and positive impact on our company.”

Why do businesses working remotely, in particular, need this?

There is a need in remote teams to maintain and build company culture, create seamless communication for impromptu chats and reduce that feeling of isolation

How is your solution different, what sets it apart?

Wurkr is differentiated in the market as it solves the productivity and isolation constraints that exist with traditional ‘remote’ working models.

What’s your prediction on the future of work?

I think the future of work will see a transition into a hybrid model working from anywhere and the office- where the focus of digitisation becomes as much employee-centric and customer-centric

The last word? 

Tech for good: We have seen an amazingly positive impact on the environment since the pandemic, with the changing lifestyle, and that must continue. Work digitisation technologies must be sustainable to help reduce greenhouse gases and positively impact the environment while elevating the lifestyle choices that people have
