Remote work is great but it also makes staying connected with everyone much more challenging as the company continues to grow. This is why I really enjoy our company wide Drink & Thinks where anyone can take a turn hosting a guest speaker, random topic discussion, or plan an interactive activity. This helps build and sustain connections with all our co-workers regardless of department, making it important and beneficial to maintain our people-driven work culture within ZayZoon.

Drink & Thinks are one of ZayZoon's cultural touchstones, and one of my favorite parts of working here.  Learning something new or appreciating a new perspective is always a great way to spend some time on a Friday afternoon.

I always go into Drink & Think excited because I know I'm going to walk away with something I can apply to my own life. Messages like tenacity, vulnerability and connection through the stories shared are simple, yet valuable reminders. It pulls me out of the day-to-day work for a moment, and it's one of the reasons why I love the culture here at ZayZoon.
