Our core values are to put customers first; be real, and real kind; start with yes; and stay well-rounded and well-rested. During our hiring process, we ask questions regarding inclusive behavior and alignment with our values, to make sure every addition is kind, collaborative, and welcoming to others. Our onboarding process includes teaching new employees how to put our values into practice, as well as scheduled meet-and-greets with employees across the organization. We've also built a robust, real-time feedback loop that gives every employee ample opportunity to be heard.

BSI Corporate Benefits is a for-profit company with a nonprofit heart. We have a strong commitment to our community and take a philanthropic approach to supporting local community groups. Every BSI employee engages as a volunteer or active board member for local nonprofits. Our company culture values the people who work here, and we recognize the unique strengths and skills each person brings to the table.

We are a 100 percent remote company where management trusts its employees and promotes living a fulfilling professional and personal life. We understand life doesn’t happen outside of the workday, so we don’t force the typical workday. When you love what you do, see results, and are rewarded, it doesn’t seem much like work at all. Our customers’ needs are important to us, and we have fun changing their lives. We also implement regular tram outings, reward trips, bonuses, and tokens of appreciation from leadership. We don’t hate Mondays!

As Omaha’s top place to work, we encourage employees to put their personal lives before professional, and we continually act on their feedback. After going remote, we updated many of our policies. For example, we lowered health insurance costs, instituted a wellness program, and offered more paternity leave. We also provide 16 hours of volunteer time off and education to build skills outside of work, including financial fitness and daily mindfulness classes. And we've held numerous virtual events, plus safe, outdoor gatherings, including a drive-in movie night.

Our company culture is at the core of everything we do, both in and out of the office. To build that culture, we take care of our employees from the moment they join the firm. We connect them with experienced colleagues from all over the company and encourage professional development that benefits the individual and the company. Perhaps most important, each one of us tries to embody the honesty, humility, and vulnerability that make for the most inclusive and supportive workplace possible.
