Our people make us great.

2020 changed everything, especially the ways we work. COVID-19 showed working from home—or from anywhere—is here to stay.

Service Objects has been remote since the pandemic started, and we’ve recently begun re-opening our Santa Barbara office. The majority of SOers (our term for our employees) really like our office, their colleagues, the ability to collaborate and build community in-person. We have, however, heard from many employees that they would prefer a hybrid model of working some days in office and some remotely.

There are also some employees that don't want to be in an office at all and some who face greater challenges working remotely and need some office space. With that we’re embracing a mixed work environment that will meet SOers wherever they are. We see a unique opportunity to acquire and retain great talent, build better teams, and establish stronger customer relationships by embracing the future of hybrid work.

At Service Objects we believe the best work happens when SOers are free to choose their work environment to suit their talents and needs. We're committed to building a workplace that fosters work location alongside productivity. To support this, Service Objects is adopting a hybrid approach with a framework we're calling SO Ready. Now, with SO Ready, the workplace is any place and every place.

At its simplest, SO Ready means most employees can choose where and how they want to work. SO Ready is a natural next step to support our belief that great things happen if we continue to bring in talented people who share our core values and empower them to do their best work. This mixed framework supports retention and recruitment as we seek diverse talent to serve our customers and strengthen the business.
