At AgBiome, no one has a boss. Instead, employees come together to form teams around different projects, and decisions are made on the recommendation of the company's internal experts. There are no personal bonuses, only a common profit-sharing program, so employees are aligned and don't compete with one another. The entire company meets every week, and employees are updated in full transparency, including on the company's financials. To foster our cohesive culture, we have assembled a collaborative team of employees who are passionate in their pursuit to have a positive impact on the world.

Our multicultural team hails from 20 countries, speaks 12 languages, and serves clients across five continents. We see that diversity as a strength and as a natural result of the respect we have for every employee. We emphasize self-care for employees, offering weekly mindfulness meditation, fitness classes, and nutrition coaching (all currently held virtually, because of the pandemic). Our employee assistance program offers free counseling and support services for employees and their families. Our generous benefits package includes free access to 24/7 telemedicine for an employee’s entire family, unlimited PTO, and maternity and paternity leave.

We take a proactive approach to improving employee satisfaction. Our management ensures employees have access to bimonthly, monthly, and quarterly training and certification requirements for each position. At AIM Consulting, we focus on social responsibility, community leadership, and volunteerism. Our company supports nonprofits and community organizations locally and nationally, and we encourage each of our employees to spearhead their own internal groups dedicated to women in consulting technology.

One of our key values is to "listen like you're wrong." This year, we've had unique opportunities to get creative in supporting our team, including our Guide to Staying Sane, a living document addressing topics like isolation, working from home with kids, and depression. For our annual incentives trip in May, we executed a gifting strategy that allowed employees to virtually visit various Four Seasons resorts with margarita kits, robes and slippers, and gift cards for a future Four Seasons stay. Our team is our most valuable asset, and we continuously seek input to improve our culture.

We believe in supporting one another and expanding our professional knowledge, and this is reflected in our high-quality work. During the pandemic, we’ve held daily, virtual morning meetings to provide project updates to ensure we’re on the same page. We empower our employees and allow them to be involved in creating new opportunities to excel and grow professionally. We reward employees who improve or develop a new process. And we work to ensure everyone on our diverse team is heard and respected.
