Strengthening Team Connection Across a Distributed Workforce

The company

Ookla delivers connectivity insights that power network performance analytics around the world. With distributed teams across functions and locations, collaboration and communication are essential to how the company operates—especially in a remote and hybrid work environment.

Challenges

As a technology organization with both in-office and remote contributors, Ookla faced challenges common to distributed teams:

Limited informal connection across remote and hybrid employees
Communication gaps caused by reliance on digital channels
Difficulty bringing cross-functional teams together consistently

Our Solution

Culture With Us partnered with Ookla to deliver a strategic engagement and team connection program designed to go beyond typical virtual events.

The experience focused on:

Interactive engagement sessions that encouraged open communication
Facilitated activities designed to improve listening and shared context
Cross-team interaction across functions and locations

Sessions were thoughtfully facilitated and easy to participate in, allowing teams to connect naturally while fitting seamlessly into existing workflows and schedules.

The Impact

The experience encouraged collaboration, conversation, and shared moments in a relaxed setting. Team members connected with colleagues they don’t often interact with, helping improve communication and strengthen relationships across teams.

The Result

Ookla transformed remote engagement from a logistical challenge into a strategic advantage. Teams felt more connected and aligned, reinforcing collaboration and trust across a distributed workforce—without disrupting productivity.
