What Employees like about Instant Impact

Working Environment

I am part of the completely remote employees, and my company has put measures in place to ensure that we are supported in any way possible. There is no time where I am not able to get support from my colleagues. There is open door policy from leadership down to employees to ensure that everyone feels comfortable to ask any questions or make contributions. The company sets up quarterly socials to ensure that employees get to spend some time together on a social basis. The socials are an extension of weekly 15 minutes sessions in smaller groups that are meant for employees to get together virtually and talk about anything besides work. Employees can request Mondays off for self-enrichment and these do not come off their annual leave. On this day you decide what you want to do to enrich yourself away from work.
