Working remotely from Gather
<aside>
💡 First of all, what’s Gather?
- It’s a virtual visualisation of an office environment for Secfix - a place for us all to work, collaborate and hangout together
- There’s an office area with desks (where people have their own desk - so make sure to claim yours), and various other areas - with break-out rooms, meetings rooms, games rooms, and more.
- Aside from a visualisation of a team environment, you can quickly open up direct conversations with individuals, by approaching them (when a video pop-ups, if they’re available), hold team meetings, or send chat messages

Guidelines to help you make the most of Gather:
1. Let’s work together in Gather
On a normal working day, it would be great if everyone logs into our Gather workspace when they’re working - so that it makes our office feel busy and buzzing. It’s not mandatory, but it would be nice - and makes it super easy to create an office buzz, see who’s around, and open up a conversation!
It also doesn’t mean you have to be chained to your desk, or your computer - if you’re not available when someone tries to get hold of you, that’s fine, just get back to them whenever you can.
2. Setting yourself up on Gather
First of all, claim a Desk!
Find yourself a free desk in the Co-Working stations to call your own, and go back to every time you’re in Gather!
Use the Claim Desk functionality to claim a desk, by:
- Hovering your mouse over an available desk (they are the ones that have a grey box over them.
- Click the Claim Desk button. Now you have a home! 🙂 🏠
