Company With No Offices Chooses Chattanooga For Remote Employee Retreat

  • Tuesday, July 24, 2018
A company with no offices and with employees from around the world has chosen Chattanooga for a remote employee retreat.
 
Officials of Zapier said, "Many companies embrace remote work, but not quite like Zapier. Zapier is an entirely-remote company, with no physical office locations.
Our employees hail from 16 countries around the world, and on Aug. 13, 170+ of its employees will be in Chattanooga for a company-wide retreat."

 

Officials said, "One of the ways to build camaraderie as an entirely-remote company is to invest in making physical interactions happen. The company gets the entire company together twice per year and chooses exciting cities to explore.


"This year, we chose Chattanooga as our summer retreat location for the following reasons:
  • Plenty of activities, restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and other unique local places

  • Location, space, and ambiance of The Chattanoogan hotel

  • Easy to get to for both our domestic and international employees (some employees are coming Nigeria, New Zealand, and Thailand)

  • We also hear there’s an incredible escape room (we admit, this was more of a bonus than a deciding factor…)"
