Case Study: Axios strengthens remote culture and onboarding with Donut

How Axios puts its people first, even while working remotely

Axios turned to Donut as it shifted from a co-located workplace to fully remote operations during the pandemic. As the company grew, its People team needed a better way to preserve culture, support employee wellbeing, and create a more human onboarding experience for new hires working from home.

Using Donut’s buddy system, introductions, and recurring virtual coffee pairings, Axios built a more streamlined and equitable remote onboarding process that runs from 14 days before a hire’s start date through 90 days after. Donut helped automate key connections for new employees, reduce the burden on managers and new hires, and recreate the informal relationships and serendipitous interactions of office life.
