RippleMatch’s Inclusive Culture Recognized on Inc. Magazine’s List of Best Workplaces for the 4th Year in a Row
As a remote-first company, we're always considering how to prioritize our team members' well-being and work to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. We're proud to share that our investment in our people has led to recognition as one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces for the 4th year in a row!
"I am thrilled that RippleMatch has once again been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces by Inc. magazine,” said RippleMatch Director of People, Jackie Carlson. “Our commitment to fostering a culture of inclusion, diversity, and growth has been key to our success, and this award is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire team."
Here’s why we were recognized for the Best Workplaces award this year:
We are a remote-first company dedicated to community-building
As a remote-first company, we’re building a unique workplace that’s welcoming and inclusive to all. We offer numerous virtual events year-round like talent shows, competitive game nights, cocktail making classes, a steps competition to stay active, as well as opportunities for teams to spend time together in-person, such as flying employees in from across the country to participate in department off-sites. For our employees that can come together in-person, we curate a variety of regular communal events from group dinners to classes to office happy hours.
We’ve created an award-winning culture that celebrates different perspectives
The company culture that we’ve built is centered around celebrating a diverse set of identities. One way we ensure every team member feels heard is by regularly taking a pulse on what they need to bring their best selves to work and want to see for the larger company through quarterly surveys. Because we actively implement changes based on the feedback we collect, our culture feels like a real reflection of the people who make up our company. In addition to our transparent and feedback-driven culture, several team members have established and currently lead Employee Resource Groups to support and celebrate different identities within our organization.
We prioritize employee well-being through thoughtful perks and company policies
While being a remote-first company has a major positive impact on employee well-being through its flexibility, we also invest in thoughtful perks and wellness policies. This includes our covered membership with Talkspace (an online therapy app), our covered membership with One Medical (a concierge primary care company), a subscription to Peloton, and unlimited vacation and mental health days, allowing our employees to recharge and put their mental health first.
We show gratitude and recognize each other’s success
Finally, our team is encouraged to recognize each other's successes and wins through our dedicated ‘shoutouts’ slack channel, during company-wide team meetings, and through our more formal policy of recognizing personal and professional milestones through personalized gifts. Whether it’s a promotion, closing a deal, building a new feature, getting married, or buying a home, we love to celebrate big and small wins as a team.
Our team is driven by a deep sense of obligation to our candidates, customers, and each other. We work hard, have fun, iterate quickly, and are always striving to improve. We understand that only by continuing to invest in our team internally can we reach our goals to transform the landscape of early career recruitment and help employers match with their company’s future leaders. The initiatives listed above, along with our overall culture of gratitude, the willingness of leadership to implement changes based on employee feedback, and the trust and compassion that permeates decision-making, were key to our selection as a Best Workplace.
