When the pandemic arrived, Baltimore print management software company Tricerat didn’t miss a beat. The 23-year-old company has had a policy of “work from anywhere” for a decade, so all of the infrastructure was in place to go remote, and employees were used to flexibility. And along the way, CEO John Byrne said the company has built a strong culture.
A big shift, however, is coming this year. In the fourth quarter, the company will begin a four-day workweek. Byrne said it’s a “radical change,” but it’s one that’s designed to provide more work-life balance for the team of just under 50 people. It’s also one that is winning favor with employees. When the company’s leaders announced the move at an all-hands inside its recently opened headquarters at the Hangar Building near Union Collective, they got a standing ovation. Not the typical reaction at a team meeting.
