We have created a company culture encompassing work-life balance, collaboration, transparency, team building, mental health, and overall well-being, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion activities. One of our best benefits is that all employees can visit another company office once a quarter with expenses paid for up to a week. We plan a variety of events for team bonding, individual recognitions, feedback, and personal and professional development. Whether virtual or in-person, our gatherings focus on collaboration, camaraderie, and creating interactions across our teams and locations.

We know company culture is more than swag or beautiful offices. It's a commitment to making happier employees, which leads to happier clients and, in our case, a record number of new business wins over the last year. By putting our people first, our business thrives. This has been particularly challenging over the last two years when Covid forced us to suddenly start working remotely. To stay connected to one another, we've organized virtual and outdoor happy hours, surprised people with booze deliveries, held virtual cooking classes, organized hikes, and other activities over the past two years.

We have employees in four countries and 12 U.S. states, and it is our employees’ diversity of age, race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation that allows us to be a multifaceted organization. Each individual is an essential part of our ongoing success, and we value employee input at all levels. We continually recognize and celebrate our employees, and expect everyone to treat one another with respect. Our “culture first” attitude helps us grow, change, and retain a competitive advantage.

As a remote company, we embrace building culture throughout our organization. We formed the Culture Club to promote initiatives and activities to encourage open discussion and to foster employee engagement. We want to create a fun and supportive space for digital water-cooler conversations. Our weekly and monthly virtual meetings ensure employees are aligned with key business priorities and decisions. Our extensive benefits package includes a monthly allowance for mental and physical health activities, gym memberships, fitness equipment, mental wellness apps, and more.

Our culture hinges on six values: give a damn, challenge yourself, team is everything, be kind, make an impact, and foster inclusion. Through these values, we encourage people to be themselves, build authentic relationships, try new things, exchange knowledge, and learn by doing. This culture-centric thinking has resulted in initiatives like frequent skip-level meetings, socially oriented company meetings, and informal activities like yoga, meditation sessions, and even a book club. When we asked employees to rate how proud they were to be a part of the company, the average score was 9.49 out of 10.
