How Atlassian HR empowers its distributed workforce

Remote and hybrid work as well as new technologies like AI have required HR teams to change how they operate. Learn how Atlassian HR leaders and their teams embraced HR Service Management to adapt to the shifting landscape and continue to deliver great employee experiences in our distributed company.

In the past few years, we’ve seen a significant shift in our work environments with remote and hybrid setups. At Atlassian, we created our Team Anywhere policy to give employees more flexibility in where they choose to work, tap into pools of talent beyond where our offices are located, and to reimagine how work gets done - both for ourselves and our customers.

As a result, that brought a new set of questions our HR team had to tackle like:

  • How do we maintain and grow company and team culture when distributed, whether that’s connecting with coworkers or commemorating special occasions?
  • How does an employee get help for questions like getting access to a new tool, what professional development resources are available to them, and more?
  • How do we retain and develop talent in a changing labor market?

Join our Head of Global Talent and HRBP, Avani Prabhakar, and our Head of Atlassian Corporate Engineering, Tal Saraf, for a conversation with Product Marketing Manager Jeremy Cooley. They’ll chat about:

  • Tried and true practices that helped Atlassian HR maintain and grow our company culture, values, and teamwork with Team Anywhere
  • How to empower employee productivity in a remote environment
  • How having the right HR Service Management tools streamlines service experiences
