Shifting our roadmap and supporting our community during COVID-19

Here’s a note we sent our customers this week – in the hopes it may help all of you.

For all of us, the way we work and live has changed dramatically in recent weeks. I encourage you to read and reply to my note with any idea, suggestion, or issue you’re facing. I read every reply, and the customer success team will reply to each of you.

An update on our plans for the coming weeksI wanted to reach out to you to explain how we’re adapting to this situation and to respond to the many questions we’ve received from you given recent events. The bottom line? We’ve redirected our product, our people and all our efforts to help cope with short and long-term effects of this new situation. New integrations

Can staging-mondaycomblog.kinsta.cloud survive and succeed during this time?

In short: yes. We have about $180 million in cash – and we’re close to operational profitability. But beyond our books, we are seeing a surge in demand for work from home (WFH) solutions, and more teams are looking to monday.com as their WFH platform.

We are committed to be there for everyone who relies on us 24/7, up and running, fully supporting you and your teams in your endeavours, from businesses, large scale operations, even hospitals and teams fighting COVID-19.

We see these times not only as an opportunity but also as our responsibility for our customers. We recently conducted a survey that showed us that monday.com users suffered only 14% decreased in accountability on projects and daily work routine versus non-monday users, who reported a whopping 34% decrease.

staging-mondaycomblog.kinsta.cloud today is in a great position to continue to grow while making a positive impact on teams and companies around the world.

You can rely on us: read our letter to our employees

It’s been over 3 weeks since we transitioned to WFH as a company.

We’ve done everything we can to make our employees feel stable and secure during these challenging times.We have over 400 employees, some of whom are home with kids, roommates, parents or pets that they need to support . This often makes WFH harder, as I’m sure many of you are experiencing. We made it clear to everyone from day one: we understand that the difficult situation going on now makes it tough to keep pace, and we trust you to do your best.

It was important to us to make sure we all felt a feeling of stability. So we’ve done our best to keep our internal beat by keeping our team rituals and routines – from weekly all-hands meetings, daily meetings going over monday boards, and one-on-ones, now through video conferencing.

Amidst all this change, there’s one thing we didn’t change: our ambitious growth goals for this year, including growing from 320 employees to more than 700, opening new offices and doubling our customer base. By keeping these goals the same, we created a sense of mission for all of us here at monday.com – to keep moving forward while helping as many people as we can.For our values of transparency and inclusion, in the hopes it may help you as well, we’ve included this letter we’ve sent our employees and board members.

Our efforts to support our community

Since the outbreak began, we’ve received many requests from organizations fighting COVID-19, from vaccine research firms to government agencies, to rescue operation organizations.We’ve therefore made monday.com free for any organization fighting the outbreak and supporting communities affected by COVID-19. If you need such a free plan, please contact us here.

Internally, we’ve diverted our travel budget (now unused) to donate to organizations located in Tel Aviv and New York City – our main offices – for communities at risk, including the elderly, refugee, minority and other populations that need support.

monday.com’s efforts to fight Coronavirus

Our team has supported several large-scale efforts to fight COVID-19, from buying medical equipment to setting up labs in days. We are here to help with setting up monday.com, training and consultations for any government or governmental agency that wants to run a smoother operation and increase efficiency while managing COVID-19 efforts.
