CULTURE

How do you show employees you appreciate them?

We show appreciation for our employees in a few different ways…

  • No meeting Wednesdays! This helps reduce video call fatigue and gives our employees uninterrupted time to focus on their work and schedule their day according to their individual work styles. 
  • We understand the importance of meeting in-person as a group given that we're a 100% remote company. We host a company off-site every quarter in different locations in North America, with all costs covered by Benepass. This gives us a chance to collaborate and to get to know each other as human beings. This is crucial as we continue to not only scale our product but also our company culture.
  • Internally, we have a recognition program where every month we choose a  "Beneperson of the Month” to highlight an employee who embodies our core values (Empathy, Seek Joy, and Set Audacious Goals).

We want to provide benefits and perks that are ACTUALLY going to make a difference in our employees’ lives outside of work. We offer competitive benefits and perks such as $150 for internet/cell phone, $500 for a home office setup, $100 for wellness, a Talkspace membership, and much more. But most importantly, we genuinely believe in work-life balance even though we're a hyper-growth startup. We know almost every startup has "unlimited PTO" and that it poses its own set of challenges, but we truly encourage all our employees to take time for themselves and disconnect. We understand that to thrive within a company that has audacious goals, it's crucial for employees to have self-care.

How are you creating a workplace of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging?

DEIB is always top of mind and it starts with the culture that we set in place. We understand that everyone has different roles and responsibilities outside of work. Our work-from-anywhere culture and flexible working hours give a chance for all walks of life to handle their business outside of work. We also strive to ensure our interview process is unbiased and equitable for all applicants and give candidates an opportunity to be their authentic selves during the process. As we grow, we foresee implementing different programs like ERGs, unconscious bias training, and mentor programs.

Why should someone work at your company?

You're not just another cog in the machine. We believe that we hire the best and give a high degree of ownership and trust in everyone we bring on, regardless of what role you step into. We truly trust our employees to be creative and execute. You get the chance to directly shape how we build our culture, product, and trajectory of the company. We have an extremely smart and genuine group of people who want to make a difference, and the best part is that our product naturally makes that possible. What we’re providing to employers is having a positive impact on employees' lives, especially since the concept of benefits and perks has evolved so much over the last four years. We like to think we practice that internally as well through the benefits we provide and the flexibility we allow for our employees in every aspect of work.
