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.

We want to be a place where people can do their best work unhindered. Our executive leadership team is enrolled in personalized coaching to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. In 2020, we also launched several employee-initiated and employee-led resource groups: Black and Brown, Women’s Circle, and Rainbow Coalition (LGBTQ+). We have allocated $100,000 annually for employee resource groups to donate to organizations of their choosing. We invest in current and future leaders through our Leadership Exploration and Development program, a six-month leadership development course focused on empathy, self-awareness, and confidence.

We solicit candid feedback from employees through our quarterly eNPS survey, and that feedback is then incorporated into our company. Each month, team members nominate colleagues for living the company values and the winner gets to spin a prize wheel. We ensure that we have the best benefits possible so that our employees are well taken care of and can focus on things they value most. We celebrate successes of one another and work to ensure team members are supported in their growth. As a result, we promoted 21 percent of our team in 2021.

Effective leadership motivates, supports, and respects employees, which is our primary goal at Capitol Benefits. We believe employee happiness and fulfillment inevitably lead to positive outcomes for them individually and for us as a company. We offer unlimited paid vacation and schedule flexibility so employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance. We've been in business for 13 years and have experienced very little turnover because of our positive and affirming work environment.

We are a woman-owned business that recognizes that happy employees make productive, successful, thriving employees. We pride ourselves on the long tenure of team members and our many perks, including membership to the Calm app, flexible and remote work, summer Fridays, catered lunches and celebrations for all birthdays, mentorship programs, philanthropic platforms, and annual international vacations. Team members have fun and are encouraged to present new ideas.
