We measure our success not just by what we’ve accomplished, but how we accomplish it. Most recently, we put more resources behind our commitment to culture with the hiring of our first chief culture officer, who will ensure that our operations and structures are aligned with our human-centered organization framework. We also believe that for people to thrive, you must address material realities and support mental health. We expanded our benefits in 2021 to include mental health benefits, life coaching sessions, gender-affirming medical benefits, student debt assistance, and tuition reimbursement.

Culture is the key to our success--in fact, we think it's the living, breathing soul of our company. We enjoy what we do, and more important, whom we do it with. With weekly and biweekly one-on-one meetings, we uncover any obstacles and help each person get the training, tools, and resources they need to succeed. We also have a library stocked with books and audiobooks to inspire personal growth, whether that's spiritually, financially, or in our relationships. Our investment in team culture has given us consistently high scores (99-plus percent) on team happiness surveys.

As we continue to grow, with more than 53 percent of our global employee base hired remotely, we have focused on ensuring that everyone feels connected and supported. We intentionally create a space where employees regardless of title, team, or tenure feel welcome and encouraged to share ideas. Our culture includes what we call “heartitude,” or space to express feelings, empathy, and celebration. We are advocates for doing the work to build a more equitable and inclusive environment for everyone. We have six employee resource groups--Blacsana, AsanaWomen, AsanaWomen EMEA, Asanapac, Team Rainbow, and Gradient--and groups for parents and caregivers.

One thing that makes us unique in a sea of consulting companies focused on technology-based outcomes is our human-first approach--to the work and to one another. We stay connected and engaged with one another virtually and in person through trivia nights, team dinners, volunteering opportunities in our communities, happy hours, themed fitness challenges, holiday recipe shares, and much more. We also have matchmaking video meetings geared toward teammates who don’t typically work together, and we help newcomers to the tech world from all backgrounds learn directly from pros with many years of industry experience.

We have a highly personalized small-company culture that emphasizes investing in our employees through personal and professional skills development, training opportunities, clear career paths, and performance incentives. We work to ensure fair compensation and benefits, as well as to maintain an inclusive and supportive culture. We also strive to help military veterans successfully transition to civilian careers and welcome the unique skills and experience they bring to our workforce.
