We anchor everything we do in generosity, greatness, growth, gratitude, grace, and grit. We’re not just about retaining team members with our competitive salary and liberal benefits package, including fully paid medical and dental insurance and a paid sabbatical. We also pride ourselves on retaining team members who are passionate about the work they're doing: We have a retention rate of 96 percent. For diversity in the financial services industry, we are leading the way through our task forces, mandatory diversity training, diversity partnerships, and more.

Before we enforced a work-from-home policy to keep employees safe during the pandemic, the company was catering lunch three times a week to encourage employees to take lunches together as a group and build meaningful friendships. As we shifted to remote work, Simpplr enabled a Covid-relief program that allowed employees to purchase desks and technology equipment and included cellphone bill reimbursements. We have an open PTO policy and encourage employees to take time off for mental health days.

Our management style differs from other companies in the industry. Leaders work alongside other team members, and transparency is one of our core values. Regular team member surveys keep us connected and updated on exactly how team members are feeling and what they would like to see more of. Our team's physical, mental, financial, and social health is effectively prioritized in our employee benefits, which include competitive health care and PTO accrual/rollover plans.

We are a creative agency, and at the core of any successful creative program is the people. We put culture first because we want all of our team members to feel like they have a voice and that their ideas and opinions matter. The culture of our company is partnership and support. Our culture recognizes that every person has a different brain, and we find ways to combine the best parts of everyone's brain and help reduce mental friction for team members.

We believe that culture is more important to business success than even product or strategy. For that reason, we are selective in our hiring process, only taking on people who can be responsible for themselves and their time. We strive to hire people who match three core criteria: design thinker, humble expert, and caring hero. This approach allows us to offer benefits like unlimited paid vacation and sick and personal days, all of which help recognize that our employees are whole people with dignity and not cogs in a machine.
