Tech pros build a better workday: As the world locked down, Chattanooga-based Syssero took off

When the coronavirus pandemic forced many workers to turn out their office lights and go home 21 months ago, Syssero’s workforce was already there.

Amber Lowry, CEO and co-owner of the Chattanooga-based company, says everyone on its staff was already working remotely – by design. In fact, Lowry says, her company has never had a physical location.

“The biggest thing when we started was to ask ourselves, ‘Does it make sense to have an office?'” she says. “It’s so much overhead. Why do that? Put that money into your people.”

Their already remote workforce kept the business from missing a beat, and the pandemic put Syssero in a strong spot to help its clients through the complexities of managing leave and other workforce challenges.
