Galvanize Blog GALVANIZE BLOG CATEGORIES HACK REACTOR BLOG COWORKING Member company Assignar on why they chose to set up their office at Galvanize Denver BY GALVANIZE SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 COMMENTS 0 At Galvanize coworking campuses across the nation, companies find flexible space to grow. We connected with Galvanize Denver coworker Elvia Loya Enriquez, Channel Partner Marketing Manager at Assignar, to hear how the company stays connected and grows in this era of hybrid work. Why did you join the team, and why were you excited to work for Assignar? After working in the construction industry for a few years, I found myself frustrated at some of the challenges we faced every day with something as simple as documenting and submitting a change order: print, sign, scan, email (or fax)… print, sign, scan, email… repeat. I always caught myself thinking that there had to be a better way– something to make crews, foremen, and superintendents’ lives easier. When I ran into Assignar, I was completely inspired: Assignar is the solution to those precise operational inefficiencies that bog down our hard-working contractor community. What was even better was that Assignar was welcoming and fun — we live by the “work hard, play hard” mentality. As I approach three years at Assignar, I can reflect on the importance of workplace culture throughout both good and challenging times. What’s been pivotal for your personal success in the past few months? The past year has brought many changes for all of us. Being a complete extrovert, working from home was initially challenging for me. Reframing my perspective and restructuring my schedule to allow for better work/life balance was critical to my success. Besides that, I’d like to think a positive attitude is contagious, which continues to fuel my personal success. How have you seen your company adapt to the challenges in the current environment? We have made a lot of changes to the way we work due to the shifting environment, and we’ve been blown away by our team’s receptiveness and ability to adapt. Initially, everyone switched to working from home and we also kept office spaces available for the team to use as needed. To our surprise, our offices are consistently in use, despite the open WFH policy. While we thought the physical distance might strain some aspects of business like communication, the exact opposite has happened. Overall, we’ve seen more cross-departmental teamwork, better performance and productivity, and improved communication throughout. In fact, many teammates have established their own “coffee dates”, happy hours, or general Zoom hangouts to close the distance virtually. Slowly but surely, many of us in the Denver office have been appreciating some amount of “normalcy” with days at the office followed by team happy hours at Denver Beer Co, and we’re looking forward to more of that.

You get what you put into it. In a startup world, rolling up your sleeves, branching out beyond your comfort zone or areas of expertise will take you a long way. Another critical thing is to be ready to pivot: changing priorities, ideas, workflows, designs, solutions, and so on are essential. Embracing that change and a dynamic environment gears you up for success, even if it doesn’t feel like it at first. How has Galvanize been a part of your work experience?
