Since 2016, Driftime® have done away with the conventional business hierarchy of middle management in favour of a horizontal company structure, working alongside the team to co-create a company culture and structure that harnesses everyone’s unique skills, talents, and interests.
Within Driftime®, every team member is given the responsibility and freedom to own their projects. “The structure is flat. So everyone has their own element of responsibility. We actively encourage them to learn things and apply them in a way that gives room for failure” Abb-d explained, “This environment fosters a culture of mutual trust and respect, where failures are seen as stepping stones to learning and growth.”
