Beyond standard benefits, what innovative programs or perks does your company offer to support employee wellness and work-life integration?
We believe employee wellness extends beyond traditional benefits by creating opportunities for personal growth, meaningful connections, and support through every stage of life. Our Mentorship Program pairs employees in one-on-one mentor and mentee relationships to encourage professional development, while our Hippo Buddy Program connects new hires with experienced employees who help them acclimate, build relationships, and feel at home from day one. Employees also enjoy access to PerkSpot, which offers thousands of discounts on travel, entertainment, fitness, and everyday purchases, as well as Vetster, providing convenient virtual veterinary care for pet owners. Eligible employees can participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving them the opportunity to share in the company’s long-term success, and Maven offers comprehensive support for family-building, women’s health, and parenting. Our pet-friendly office helps create a welcoming environment for employees and their furry companions, and those who utilize our on-site fitness center have access to a complimentary personal trainer, making it even easier to prioritize physical wellness during the workday.
Throughout the year, we bring employees together through a variety of virtual and on-site events that foster connection and community across our workforce. We also host an annual Wellness Week leading up to Open Enrollment, featuring educational sessions, wellness resources, and engaging activities that empower employees to prioritize their physical, mental, and financial well-being. Together, these programs reflect our commitment to helping employees thrive both professionally and personally.
How has your organization adapted its benefits and support systems in response to changing employee needs and expectations?
We recognize that employee needs continue to evolve, and we’ve made it a priority to ensure our benefits and support systems evolve alongside them. We regularly gather employee feedback and use those insights to shape our offerings, with a growing focus on holistic well-being, flexibility, and meaningful employee experiences. In recent years, we’ve expanded resources that support employees through different life stages, invested in programs that strengthen connection and professional development, and enhanced wellness education to help employees make informed decisions about their health and benefits. By remaining responsive to employee feedback and emerging workplace trends, we’re able to offer a benefits experience that supports employees both at work and in their personal lives.
