Headquarters to Remain in Hartford,
Most Teammates to Continue Working Remotely

We are pleased to announce that beginning in September 2021, CIL will begin our transition to being a remote-first organization.
This means teammates now have the option to work in the office or to continue to work away from the office. For many team members, it will probably be a mix of both. This transition was driven by the desire to allow our teammates greater flexibility in their daily schedules while ensuring that they have easy access to CIL’s shared knowledge and tools, as well as the mentorship of their teammates.

What is “remote-first”?

Remote-first is a method of working that describes more about how a team works and less about where. In practice, remote-first means that CIL aims to be an organization where every teammate’s experience is similar, regardless of whereeach employee spends their workday. This means things such as virtual meetings with in-office folks dialing in separately vs. meeting in person, as well as less assigned seating in office for remote teammates, will become the norm.

How Will This Affect CIL Partners?

Good news! For our partners, this change will likely not impact your current experience of working with CIL at all. The biggest change partners should anticipate is that all office visits should be pre-arranged with a CIL teammate, as who is available in the office on a day-to-day basis will vary.
