Dropbox’s ‘asynchronous by default’ culture shift

alt_text

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

In our new HRD Connect case study, we explore how Dropbox, one of the world’s foremost cloud storage specialists, is taking a cue from its own collaboration tools.

Harnessing the power of working asynchronously, Dropbox has rebuilt its entire organisational structure around real-time communication. It’s all part and parcel of the company’s culture shift, where they aim to create a new paradigm which respects each person’s boundaries and helps avoid the dreaded burnout.

Want to know more? Read our case study below to find out.

Join our exclusive LinkedIn group and HRD Network to discuss this topic and more and engage with our community of senior HR leaders.

All the best,

Amy Kirkham – Senior Content Editor, HRD Connect
