Remote working tips and tricks from our team of Tyklings

Tyk, a remote-first organization, has successfully leveraged its global approach to create a dynamic and innovative team spread across 25 countries. Originally necessitated by the geographical distance between its founders, the remote-first model has become a competitive advantage, emphasizing trust, flexibility, and output over traditional office presence. The company encourages its employees, known as Tyklings, to adapt remote working to their personal styles and utilize technology like Zoom and Slack for communication and collaboration. Emphasizing the importance of a supportive company culture, Tyk fosters connections through social initiatives like twice-weekly virtual cafés and encourages employees to engage with colleagues across the organization. The company operates in a paperless environment, utilizing tools like GitHub, Google Docs, and Trello to maintain accessibility and efficiency in its remote operations.
