Inside Wayfair's pivot to remote work with Slack

As an online retail space, Wayfair lets customers browse more than 18 million home items across furnishings, decor, home improvement, housewares, and more.

As many people in the world shelter in place during the coronavirus outbreak, Wayfair is committed to serving visitors who are looking to adapt their living spaces into home offices, classrooms and more.

Kristin Geyer, Wayfair’s global head of internal communications, says operating in the middle of a pandemic means keeping teammates connected and engaged.

To that point, Wayfair’s office teams in Boston, Berlin and London have gone all-in on all-remote work for the first time since the company’s creation. Below, Geyer explains how Wayfair made the transition with Slack, the channel-based messaging platform.
