Remote-Forced to Remote-First - Cimpress/Vista's Journey

In 2020, Cimpress/Vista,  a customer-focused, entrepreneurial mass customization businesses adopted a Remote-First operating model and culture. Cimpress/Vista heard from their team members that having the freedom, autonomy, and trust in each other to work from home and, the ability to operate when they are most productive, empowers them to be their best. Cimpress/Vista also provides collaboration spaces for team members to work physically together when it's safe to do so and when in-person collaboration will deliver the best results. Currently, Cimpress/Vista is enabled to hire remote team members in over 30 US States as well as several countries in Europe, including Ireland, Spain, Germany, UK, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Kristin and Stacey will share highlights on how their leadership came to the decision to adopt a Remote-First operating model early-on, how they tackled the work associated with that decision, and will provide detail on how their global base pay program evolved in support of this change.
