Our goal has always been to create an environment in which our team not just enjoys their work, but finds fulfillment in it. A place where they can use their talents and passion to help cultivate the shape and substance of what we do around here. To that end, this year we began layering in some additional benefits in an effort to provide a work space that was good for mind, body, and spirit.

One of the biggest benefits we added in 2021 was 100% employer funded healthcare for our staff. We worked with a local agent who helped us pick out an amazing plan that allowed us to cover 100% of all healthcare costs for our staff.

We also introduced fully paid parental leave for mothers and fathers/spouses. Full time staff get 5 paid weeks and part time get 2 paid weeks. This way, whether you’re an expectant mother or a supporting spouse, you can enjoy the first few weeks of your new family without the financial stress of having to miss work.

We introduced paid sick time for all team members. Trying to navigate through COVID the last two years exposed just how important it is for our team to take the time they need to rest, recuperate and recover when they’re not feeling 100%. 

We also created a variety of other benefits like a paid day off for their birthday, paid voting leave to go and exercise their right to vote in whatever way and for whatever candidate they choose, and paid volunteer time to go and serve in our community.

We’re also actively working with three of our team members who are in the process of starting their own individual businesses by coaching them through their business, supply chains, profitability, and marketing plans. One of the team members has already launched their maker-based business and the other two will be going live in the coming months. We can’t wait to tell you more of their stories and showcase their talents!
