Annually, we have a Dream Day to talk about new dreams and celebrate accomplished ones. We have an onsite gym, a kitchen with healthy snacks, and a wellness director to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle. We raise money to support families in need, volunteer at local events, and have a scholarship program for high school students. We encourage and facilitate continuous professional development, and, annually, all employees provide feedback on management. We do many activities together, including yacht rides, go-karts, road trips, and indoor skydiving.

At Immuta, culture is founded on three principles: honest communication up and down the chain of command, career development support for team members, and the cultivation of a fun, academic, and caring environment. We set goals and leverage technology to aggressively pursue each of these objectives. Ultimately, though, it is our team members who determine what we can achieve; by empowering them to make the most of themselves in and out of the workplace, we maximize our company's chances of success.

We are committed to making a positive impact on our clients and associates alike. During each associate's orientation, we spend time reviewing core values such as integrity, motivation and passion, and we continue to reinforce these values on a regular basis through our town hall calls, our annual all-employee retreat, various internal publications and more. We also have an internal employee recognition system that allows each associate to recognize a fellow team member for going above and beyond in client service or in living our mission and values.

Employees have the authority to make on-the-spot decisions instead of waiting for management approval. We have a flat organizational structure with no management layers. Top management and employees routinely work together, allowing employees to give feedback and suggestions directly to top management. Employees also routinely get opportunities to go beyond their job duties and learn other job functions. There are no offices; everyone works from the desks on the floor. This has helped break down traditional barriers between staff and management.

The most important value of our company culture is transparency. Our CEO and finance manager offer an all-company finance update to the entire team each quarter, and prior to this meeting, employees can submit questions to be addressed during this meeting. The past year has been challenging for everyone, and we supported our employees through it by offering flexible work hours, free virtual workouts, a stipend each month, and an additional child care stipend for employees with children.
