LoanLogics’ EVP of Administration and Business Operations, Lauren Pilon, recently spoke to Mortgage Women Magazine on the topic of hybrid work in the article, “Finding Balance in Hybrid Work Environment.” She and other mortgage industry executives shared their perspectives on whether leadership and growth require an in-person connection to staff, or if technology can help to improve personal communications and connections among colleagues across the country.
Like many organizations, LoanLogics switched to a hybrid / remote work environment and as a result new working styles and ways of connecting have emerged. Socks and sandals have replaced dress shoes, athleisure wear instead of button-downs, and watercooler conversations now take place over the company’s instant messaging platform.
One way our broader LoanLogics team, particularly with the acquisition of LoanBeam last year, stays personally connected is through the “Daily Question,” launched shortly after the pandemic shifted us all to remote work.
Still going strong two years later, we recently asked, “What do you listen to when you work?” From legal and finance to product management, marketing, HR, infrastructure support, technical architects, software support and everything in between, 20% of associates gave their responses to this question. Some of our team shared more than one style that they liked, as different tasks called for different answers. Here are the sounds, or lack thereof, that our team is whistling to while they work.
24.44% said silence is golden
11.11% like a little conversation and were keen on Podcasts or Audiobooks
11.11% are high energy with Electropop/Trance/EDM music
6.67% feel calm and relaxed with Instrumental/Classical/Jazz
