Virtual All Hands
Blog post from Sanity
Sanity adapted to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by hosting an online all-hands meeting across four time zones, emphasizing the importance of team cohesion and trust. The event included a series of engaging activities such as social gatherings, cooking sessions, yoga, quizzes, and escape rooms to foster connection among team members, many of whom were new hires with diverse backgrounds. The company also involved their community and customers through the Sanity Open House, where they showcased different aspects of the organization and launched the new "Review Changes" feature. The experience underscored the value of virtual collaboration, allowing Sanity to creatively engage in dogfooding, which involved testing and developing innovative uses for their product in cross-functional teams. These efforts not only strengthened internal bonds but also highlighted Sanity's commitment to both their product and community engagement, with some of the outcomes set to be released in the near future.
