Work Environment Flexibility: Those associates who choose a "hybrid schedule" usually come into the office one to two times per week, at their choosing. Our office environment is a modern gathering space for teams or colleagues who are looking to reconnect in person, or to just grab some Starbucks coffee at our cafe. We offer a fitness center, meeting spaces, and 100% renewable (clean) energy. The hybrid model works for our organization, because we’re meeting our associates where they are. We understand there are associates who want to work in an office environment, and we want to support that need, but give them the flexibility to make that choice. We look to our values to guide us in our cultural expectations, and ensure we’re connecting with each other in other ways including volunteering as a team, our annual giving campaign, and our fireside chats to name a few. We also ensure our senior leaders are continually holding open forums, town halls, and holiday celebrations, all done virtually!

As we continue to operate in this hyper-competitive and rapidly evolving business environment, we want to ensure we are creating the right flexibility and balance for our associates. Over 70% of our workforce is fully remote, with 20% working a hybrid schedule. Our goal is to support our associates in their choice of the working environment is best for them, but more importantly, we want their career to fit into the life they desire. We do this by providing them with the support they need to be successful outside the traditional office. Things like a work-at-home stipend and flexible working hours. But being productive at work isn’t the only important aspect, staying healthy mentally and physically is just as important to us. We provide mental health access for the associate and their family members, along with fitness reimbursement, and other lifestyle options. Providing these resources to associates ensures they feel supported in all aspects of their life.
