Wellbeing and work-life balance


We all want to feel safe, appreciated, accomplished and happy.

When working from home – things might get even more complicated.

How can we separate and harmonize both worlds?

Well... Well? Well!

Stop me if you've heard this before. You start working from home. At first, you're excited you don't have to commute. Your longest commute is to the kitchen to grab a snack or your favorite beverage. And you can work in your PJs!


But slowly your home becomes your workspace. The line between life and work becomes blurry. Your day becomes just a workday. How do you break the cycle?


Working takes up a ton of our time – so the better we feel when performing our job, the more positive energy we bring to it and to our lives. Especially when our workspace is also our home.

At GetResponse, we strive to keep our team happy and appreciated, so we can all reach the height of our potential and enjoy ourselves at work!


Just like millions of people around the world, we're constantly learning how to make remote work as seamless as we can.

This is how we help our amazing team to ensure working remotely works, to benefit us all:

Adjust your schedule to your needs - You're the owner of your calendar and of your day. We're working in various time-zones and collaborating on various tools that make asynchronous working possible. Some of us kick off their workday at 7 am, some at 11, and we make this work, too!

Work from wherever - Your cozy couch, our great company HQ, or connecting from the beach? It’s all in your hands! If you want to go to Cape Town or Bangkok for 2 months to work from there, we might be able to take care of your insurance to make it a great workation!

Get support in handling it all – Everyone sometimes struggles with combining all the duties that appear in our personal and professional lives. Don’t leave difficult emotions unchecked. You can count on free consultations with psychologists from the MentalHealth Helpline as well as periodical meetups, webinars and educational materials

Focus with ease - In a remote world, our train of thought and workflow gets interrupted with tons of meetings, questions and messages. Immerse yourself deeply in work on meeting-free Wednesdays and get things done!

Healthy body, healthy mind – Our brains can’t function without the proper dosage of oxygen. Take a break from work and go for a walk, to the gym with your Multisport card, or enjoy our yoga, Tabata or back exercise classes. We also have a dedicated Slack channel to share helpful tips and techniques to help us relax and stay fit.

Keep your workload under control – When working remotely, it’s easier to overload yourself with excess duties. Our team leaders are here to help you make realistic and well-balanced plans, so you feel accomplished and not congested!

Don’t be alarmed – Nobody checks whether you’re online all the time. Results are what matter, not your constant presence at the computer. You don’t have to reply to all emails or Slack messages at once - we have a 24-hour rule for that.

Get positive reinforcement – We strongly believe in the power of constructive feedback. We use Culture Amp to garner quality feedback from our colleagues, both for internal reviews and to see what we can improve. It’s also an avenue for coworkers to give kudos to each other.

Join #GetResponse4Good - One of our goals is to help each other and help the world, from pitching in to helping our neighbors in strife, to cleaning the forest or the sea, to offering a helping hand to those that need it. We encourage you to take part in our CSR initiatives, both on- and offline.

Feel safe and secure – With us, your medical and future needs are covered. You’ll get an extensive health plan as well as a subsidy for the employer pension program, so you can enjoy life no matter the stage.

Just have fun – Work, even at work, can’t be all there is. That's why we hold onsite and online integration meetings, donut calls, Tuesday coffees and various surprises spread out around the year to bring everyone closer, regardless of their location and time zone!

Here are our tips and tricks to make that line between personal life and work life in focus:

Create and stick  to a remote work schedule or remote work routine. Make sure to set a clear goal for a day and to make notes – you don't have to remember everything

Minimize distractions in order to work efficiently

Establish a clear borderline between work and life. Plan your day and even your breaks, this way, it will be easier for your peers and for your family to know when  you're available

Take regular breaks to stretch. Those tiny breaks can help to ease your body and reboot your brain

Have clear goals and work with action plans in place

Take a vacation and don't be afraid to unplug
