WHY WE THINK WE'RE A GREAT PLACE TO WORK

The FONA vision from the very beginning can be summed up in one word: growth. Growth in the business and growth in our people. Growth through education and through fulfilling lives and livelihoods for everyone. We want our people to thrive, learn, and grow each day. The reason isn't purely generous--it's generative. We firmly believe growth in the business is due to personal and professional growth. FONA boasts record-setting employee engagement rates, and continually wins awards for culture and engagement.

Global Press culture revolves around four core values: dignity, diversity, transparency, and excellence. From our journalism and our business practices to leadership decisions and fundraising practices, these four values shape and define daily operations and employee experiences at Global Press. We offer competitive industry wages, top of the line health benefits, and matching 401(k). Regardless of whether an employee is in Washington, D.C., or Democratic Republic of Congo, she receives six months of paid maternity leave.

Engagement and eNPS scores are key metrics at GoCanvas. Engagement is tracked on a weekly basis through OfficeVibe to identify teams that are experiencing challenges before the challenges become complaints. Our wellness program offers bimonthly massages and yoga classes each month in addition to membership to the gym in the building. In 2019, we are implementing nutrition classes, meditation and mindfulness, and stress management. We host events throughout the year including holiday parties, potlucks, happy hours, and more.

As a hiring software company, we're committed to creating a world that is more diverse and inclusive, and we do that by enabling companies to create better workplace cultures by being great at hiring. Our culture committee and DEI council spearhead initiatives that improve our overall culture, while ensuring that all teams and underrepresented groups have a seat at the table. We also have a variety of employee resource groups (LGBTQ, women, people of color, et al.) that help foster a culture of belonging, while promoting upward mobility for those underrepresented groups.

We strive to achieve a sense of family in our company, not just with our internal employees but with our contract employees as well. Our goal is to make it clear that our contract employees are valued employees and important team members, even though we don't see them on a daily basis. With our internal employees, managers hold regular meetings to discuss obstacles, collaborate on new ideas, and recognize team members who consistently embody our core values. We also use an incentive program that rewards employees who go above and beyond, a unique perk in our industry.
