After over two years of working from home, Agate will enforce the Work From Office (WFO)/Hybrid policy for the entire Agate Crews starting from August 2022. We’re excited to welcome all of our Crews back at Level Up Building in Summarecon Bandung.
To prepare all the needs for WFO/Hybrid working arrangements at our office, what is our Office Manager, Putri Afifah Maulida, up to?
“I’m thrilled to meet all of Agate’s Crews to be back at the office. I’m a typical person who loves to meet people, and working closely with all the Crews after WFO/Hybrid will make coordination faster at work and a delightful experience for me to have friends to laugh and joke with.“
Agate’s WFO/Hybrid preparations have been planned since last year by doing a lot of renovations at our office to ensure that we can provide a comfortable workplace for all of our Crews. Still, the implementation of the policy can only be realized this year.
To support all operational activities, the WFO/Hybrid policy has been prepared for almost three months, starting from May. Meanwhile, we intensified all the preparations from service to procurement in the last month. Looking back at our preparations, the biggest obstacle for WFO/Hybrid preparation is the short time to prepare all WFO needs and the changing needs of our company. For example, to compare the number of Crews since our last WFO in early 2020, we have nearly doubled the number of Crews at our company. With that in mind, we also need to prepare all the arrangements at our office for our new Crews.

During this WFO/Hybrid, our Crews can enjoy various facilities for work, accommodation, entertainment, and even hobbies. Now Agate provides:
- Gym room.
- Sleeping spaces.
- A canteen.
- Crew shuttles.
- Vending machines.
- Entertainment room.
Changes that will differ from WFH are not only the atmosphere of discussions and meetings that now will be done face to face but recurring company events such as Agate Alliance Gathering, Town Hall Meeting, and company events will also be carried out offline. Agate also has several exciting benefits that can be obtained for our Crews at the office. We provide a wide range of benefits from complimentary breakfast, free lunch, free flow of coffee, a health facility, and a shuttle to go around the city.
