Remote Foundation

The mission of the foundation

The mission is simple

give employees and managers workplace freedom

The main goal

bring back the awareness the world needs and the results that mindful people bring to organizations

The Beginning

It all started with a journey into the wild

The founder — Oskar Grochowalski — was once inspired by the true, untouched beauty of the Siberian forest. Eventually, that was just the start of an incredible transformation. From experiencing life in a limited, logical, conceptual way to developing an emotional, spiritual connection with the surrounding world.

That observation, together with his experience in team management and growing a business, turned into a movement. Remote Foundation (Zdalna Fundacja in Polish) came first, and the Remote Sensei project followed.

The force that changes the way people work — worldwide — wouldn’t be possible without a formal structure — a social enterprise.

Now, we can easily reach:

  • employees who want to work remotely
  • freelancers and digital nomads, who still need help with focus and finding their purpose once they go remote
  • physically disabled people
  • single parents
  • people who are highly qualified but live far away from possible workplaces

From Zdalny Ninja to Remote Sensei

The foundation didn’t start as a plan. It started with a question Oskar kept carrying around.

The question

Oskar runs his first remote business, between Poland and the US. There’s no shared office and nobody looking over anyone’s shoulder. He starts asking how work gets done when you can’t see your team.

A cabin in Siberia

He runs the business from a wooden cabin in a Siberian forest. There he sees how people working remotely grow faster when the conditions fit their needs.

Zdalny Ninja

A Polish blog for employees who want to work remotely: how to ask for it, and how to make it work at home.

Zdalna Fundacja

A few months later the foundation is registered to carry that message further. It reaches thousands of Polish employees and helps them, for free, negotiate remote work with the employer they already have.

The other side of the puzzle

Once managers said yes, they hit a new problem: how do you lead a team you can’t see? That’s where Remote Sensei was born, to guide the same change from the executives’ side. Oskar and Jacek start working together.

The remote-work course

Remote Sensei turns what it learned into a course.

Helping employees ask for freedom, and helping leaders make it work. Two halves of one goal: workplace freedom in Poland.

Remote Sensei impact

Going beyond current trends of work management

The whole organization embraces the current level of human consciousness and brings together a group of people that transcends and integrates the existing limitations of current static organizational paradigms.

Such social organism is called teal organization where we truly believe in:

  • self-management
  • wholeness
  • evolutionary purpose

Wholeness & individualism goes hand in hand

This approach helps us understand that every case we’re about to work on, should be treated individually. So are you.

Only then, we’re able to successfully walk you and your team members through long-lasting transformation.

That’s why our impact is increasing with every month and we’re able to truly develop teams’ habits, processes, and alignment.
