Martin Migoya, the founder and CEO of Globant, does not think that forcing his staff to go back to working from the office is the right course of action. Indeed, he has taken a flexible stance, allowing all of their over 30,000 workers, dispersed around 33 nations, to go on working remotely, should they so want. Globant is now among the biggest IT firms in the world in terms of personnel and is still entirely remote.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Migoya said, "We have been very flexible; we will continue being very flexible." Instead of merely being a place where you work, the workplace should serve as a gathering place for people. It serves as the organization's link building tool.

Migoya does value in-person work, it's not like that. Since the epidemic, the firm has been remodeling its offices to better accommodate the evolving demands of its staff. According to the magazine, larger circular tables that seat several people have taken the place of individual desks, adding more lounge area and workstations for private meetings.

When working from the headquarters in Buenos Aires, staff members have access to a variety of recreational activities, such as riding a mechanical bull, going to the gym, and cooking delicious Argentine BBQ.

Following the pandemic, According to Migoya, his first thought was to force every one of his workers back to the office. Nevertheless, he chose a more gentle approach and made the offices cozier and more accommodating. He said to Bloomberg, "We've gradually modifying our offices to attend to that new reality. We found that customers come, they get together, and ultimately they use our offices in a different way."

As part of a $1 billion investment, Globant is also employing 20,000 more people over the course of the next five years.
