Maintaining High Morale, a Panel Discussion
summary
Panelists describe concrete moves: company surveys show 76% of engineers want to stay remote and managers report higher burnout so teams add mental‑health benefits (Lyra, Modern Health), Headspace access, and regular pulse surveys; one company grants 13 Fridays off to force rest; rapid product shifts include Codility‑style remote interviewing features shipped in record time and an internal Corridor app plus VR hackathons to restore serendipity; middle managers get training, documentation improves, and attrition and tool‑usage become tracking metrics.
