It always gets hard to keep motivation with summer days having come. The weather makes us feel like swimming or sunbathing, but we are getting back to our offices to continue with the business as usual. We believe it is always worth making things pleasant, thus we stick to our traditional initiative - Fresh summer.

Maintaining the company culture has become a bit harder in these unusual times . For couple of months, we've switched into fully remote mode - not only IT engineers but also the whole HR and Operations Team. We adjusted priorities, managed to go on with regular meetings, and maybe became even more effective at times. However, one question remained: how to keep the team spirit alive and create space for an informal chat while working remotely?

Another week of home office and you are trying to find last bits of motivation? You are probably feeling very similar to most of us.. Moreover, it is even harder when the your boss is not looking - it is so easy to lose the track of time when communicating with team or using social media.

We all realise the need for responsible behaviour to flatten the curve of COVID 19 pandemics. Therefore we are more than proud of our colleagues who have gone the extra mile and became a part of volunteering team developing the app to fight the virus.

It has been nearly one month of quarantine now. Many of us have already been through various stages of (de)motivation and tried working in every room in the house. To ignite the enthusiasm again, we have another few tips to try !

Struggling to get used to new quarantine home office? Long-term remote working is new for us too. We put together few tips for our Sygic team on how to keep your productivity when working from home.

We want people to be happy at Sygic. Therefore, in August "Fresh & Happy Newsletter" we continued with supplying our people with some tips to help them increase their satisfaction.

The end of August also means the end of our „summer refreshment“ – Fresh summer initiative. This year we have dreamt of traveling places, and we enjoyed yummies typical of various countries: American hotdogs, Adriatic ice-cream, Italian tiramisu, or typical Slovak fruit dumplings.

We believe everyone should be happy at work and everyone can do something about it. However, we realize it is not about cool offices, free fruit or table football, but rather about meaningful work and good relationships. This is why our HR team has created the initiative Fresh & Happy Newsletter, which regularly brings tips for a happier life not only at work.
