Meet Nina Bashirova, veterinary consultant at our Barbus company, sharing her experience and impressions on remote work.

📌 What are the changes you experienced when working remotely?
It is more time savvy, I do not have to spend time on going to the office and back home. And now I feel higher responsibility for my daily tasks. What’s more, there are much less health risks.

📌 What helps you be productive?
The tasks that are really focused on the result, but not on the time spent in the office (and a more flexible schedule).

📌What helps you relax?
The time I spend with my friends, sports and self-development.

📌What do you think will change after returning to the office?
I will start to spend more time on going to the office and back home, so the amount of free time will be less.

📌What would you like to wish your colleagues?
A comfortable working atmosphere, nice relations with their managers and a higher salary, of course🙂

Today we’d like you to meet Konstantin Kiva, our Barbus company veterinary consultant, sharing his experience of remote work.

🏠 Konstantin showed us his new working place, explained how his workflow has changed and shared his thoughts on what will be different after returning to the office.

📌What are the changes you experienced when working remotely?
When I started to work remotely, I had to slightly adjust my workflow. I started to work with my colleagues and clients online more often, especially at the times when public transport did not work. It helped to save a lot of time that I usually spent on getting to the office. What’s more, I avoided standing in traffic jams for a long time. Now the situation is better, as there is often a way to visit customers face to face.

📌 What helps you be productive?
That is fully focusing on my workflow. And also some good rest after the work.

📌What helps you relax?
Reading literature, listening to professional lectures and chatting with interesting and positive people.

📌What do you think will change after returning to the office?
I think a lot of things will change. After all, many companies are already switching to working remotely. And visiting the office will not always be mandatory, while the format of office work will undergo some changes too.

📌What would you like to wish your colleagues?
To have truly great achievements and to enjoy life even in difficult situations. And just to have a good, sunny mood 🙂

On the occasion of March 8, we wish every woman happiness, health, success and prosperity in the years ahead.

Meet Evgenia Rozhkova, RKAM at Aricol company, sharing her experience of remote work.

📌What are the changes you experienced when working remotely?
I started to have more time for my daily tasks. Now at 8:30 instead of standing in a traffic jam, I already start my working day. And this is very important for Kyiv. What’s more, it is possible to better focus and there are less things that disturb me from work.
At the same time, I do not face the lack of communication. I have a lot of calls, emails, meetings during the day, but all this is because of my type of work.

📌 What helps you be productive?
Motivation, being result-oriented.

📌What helps you relax?
Doing sports and active leisure, like skiing and snowboarding.

📌What do you think will change after returning to the office?
Everything will change!:) Business model has changed, in the future employees will be able to work from anywhere in the world, without being tied to the office. And the office itself will change, many international companies have already abandoned fixed working places and switched to using open spaces, where any employee can choose/change his or her working place, or just pick up a vacant one😉

📌What would you like to wish your colleagues?
Strong immunity to ward off the negatives, that’s the first thing! And speaking about work, that is bright, great and inspirational victories, creative, non-standard solutions, more optimism! And to go further and further!

And our colleagues continue to share with us their experience of remote work💻
Meet Daryna Voipan, Head of the Foreign Economic Activity Service at Aricol Group.

📌What are the changes you experienced when working remotely?
First it was very unusual, but my work implies much of activity and even when working remotely I do not have time to stay put. And I assume a big plus is that I no longer spend so much time going to the office and back home during rush hour.

📌 What helps you be productive?
The main secret of productivity for me is to keep the balance between work and rest.

📌What helps you relax?
A cup of sweet tea and 15 minutes of silence.

📌What do you think will change after returning to the office?
My work implies constant visits, so I think I will not see big changes for myself, as I also constantly visit the office now.

📌What would you like to wish your colleagues?
To love what you do and to enjoy every day.
