Softly pursues an autonomous work culture. But we all know that autonomy comes with responsibility. The balance between the two is what shapes how we work.
An Autonomous Work Environment
We let team members choose the environment where they can be most productive. We respect each person's lifestyle and work style, and we provide a flexible working environment.
- Flexible hours: You can work during the hours when you are most productive
- Remote work available: You can choose to work from home when needed
- Autonomous time off: You can take vacation anytime, as long as the team isn't affected
- Free dress code: We focus on our work in whatever we're comfortable wearing
"We work on the basis of trust, not control"
Clear Goals and Responsibility
Guaranteeing autonomy requires clear goals and responsibilities. Each of us knows exactly what we need to achieve, and we are free to choose how we get there.
OKR-Based Goal Management
We set and track goals through OKRs (Objectives and Key Results). Every quarter, we set team and individual goals and share progress transparently.
This lets everyone know clearly what they need to do, while also understanding the direction of the team as a whole.
Results Over Process
We focus on what was achieved, not how many hours were worked. What matters is not staying late at the office, but delivering the results we promised.
Of course, collaboration and communication along the way matter too. But we minimize unnecessary reporting and empty formalities, and focus on producing real outcomes.
The Courage to Admit Mistakes
In an autonomous environment, we sometimes make the wrong call. What matters is admitting mistakes quickly and finding solutions together.
We don't hide mistakes or shift the blame to others. Instead, we share them transparently and look for ways to improve together. This culture enables faster learning and growth.
Built on Mutual Trust
Balancing autonomy and responsibility is impossible without trust between team members. We believe in each other and assume that everyone is doing their best.
- We don't question a colleague's productivity when they work remotely
- We don't assume someone is slacking off when they use flexible hours
- We don't think someone worked less because they left early
- No one needs to feel sorry for taking vacation
A Sustainable Way of Working
Autonomy is not simply about working comfortably. It is about building a work environment that is sustainable in the long run.
We are creating an environment where people can work happily for a long time without burnout, and a culture that supports work-life balance. We believe this is what benefits both the team and each individual the most.
A Work Culture That Keeps Evolving
Our work culture is not set in stone. It keeps evolving as the team grows and changes. We keep searching for the right balance between autonomy and responsibility, building a better environment together.
