We started Out of Office to combat the burnout that office-life, workism and our always-on culture are taking on us.
The role and meaning of work are coming under question now more than ever. In In recent years, many of us have shifted to different ways of working, reevaluated career paths, and reconsidered our relationship with work. Systems have collapsed, and bubbles have burst, leaving thousands of people without jobs and forcing companies to rethink how they operate.
Our current situation involves people feeling trapped in ways of working that fail to prioritize their well-being and human flourishing. We are running so fast that we can't keep up. Many individuals are left feeling burned out, isolated, overwhelmed, and creatively depleted. They lack the time to connect with themselves, their communities, or a higher purpose, engage in play, or simply enjoy rest.
It’s time to rethink the way we work.
We believe in collectively reimagining work and life, redefining our value systems, and shifting the prevailing degenerative workplace culture to a new, life-centered, more playful, and regenerative culture of work. This new culture celebrates play, rest, and harmony, embraces different seasons and rhythms of work, and recognizes the holistic human being within all of us.
