The memory of my first day at Spoiled Milk could be described with the word ´unusual´.
You may ask: “Why do people who work primarily in front of their computers make an unusual impression?” The answer is quite simple: The silence.
The quiet environment astonished me the most. Of course, my perception was dependent on my previous experiences of working climates, maybe that is the reason why this lack of noise and miscellaneous sounds stood out as a very different environment. To my discovery, the audio landscape was determined by the internal communication of Spoiled Milk.
The Spoiled Milk working climate is different from the climate of other companies, because of the internal communication tools used. It is different, because it is easy to concentrate on your tasks. It is different, because nobody constantly interrupts you. Finally, it is different, because people talk – rather than typing in the company chat forum – only when they have something to say.
After some time spent with the Spoiled Milk team, working in the same environment, interviewing the people and just having lunch, I realised a few things about the internal communication of Spoiled Milk.
The internal communication environment:
- Facilitates the working and communication flow of two offices in different locations.
- Corresponds to the product Spoiled Milk offers.
- Is part of the Spoiled Milk philosophy.
- Makes the Spoiled Milk team highly flexible.
- Improves the working process to a faster and more productive stage.
Halya Borysyuk is completing a 3-month strategic internship with Spoiled Milk in early November, during which she has observed the production and communication processes, participated in research and consultancy phases and interviewed the entire team for her written report intended for the University of Copenhagen.
