We mirror their example by caring for all dimensions of our employees' wellness - physical, intellectual, emotional, social, professional, and spiritual. Everything we do flows from there - careful recruiting and training, policies that encourage work-life balance, a culture of openness and inclusiveness, yoga, group exercise and massage therapy onsite, a monthly wellness stipend, 25 days of paid time off per year, and a standing practice of "promote from within" whenever possible. All of this adds up to a happy workforce, free to apply their talents and creativity to accomplish our team's ambitious goals. It works!"
