We need to fuel our creative fire, and that takes balance. For us, a good balance means we have clientwork that fills most of our days while leaving breathing room to learn,connect, and grow. If we have time to do those things professionallyas well as personally, we’re pretty happy campers.
Some of the ways we support our team:
• Permanent half-day Fridays
• Flexible hybrid work environment
• Rotating learning experiences with dedicated time to focus
• A shared cabin that team members can use at no charge
• Kudos: our member-to-member recognition
• And the good ol’ standby of sharing meals together when possible
A few kind words from our friends.
