Operating Principles

People are a business's greatest asset

Employee-related expenses are the biggest operating cost for most companies.

Treating people well protects that investment. The best opportunities to provide value are when your team's work-life intersects with real life:

In their pay and total compensation
Support through health and welfare benefits
In day-to-day behaviors that help them do their best work

When people feel cared for, they show up with more loyalty, productivity, and collaboration.

Treat people like humans, not resources

Work takes up a lot of our time, energy, and attention. We rely on work to sustain our lifestyles and support our families. Our work gives us a sense of significance and social connection. With so much of your team's lives invested in work, their outside (and inner) lives are bound to show up in the workplace.

We understand that managing people's compensation and behaviors is a position of power—we don't take that lightly. We can't always give everyone what they want, but we use every tool available to support folks through the tough times in both work and in life.

Competence is a sign of respect

When employers mess up people's pay or benefits, it suggests to employees that the company doesn't care about them or their lives.

Inconsistency can look like favoritism and undermines trust, making it seem you don't take your role as an employer seriously.

We build systems that look out for everyones interests equally, with fair and clear rules that no one is tempted to break.

Be accommodating

Everyone takes in information differently. When done right, accommodation and accessibility make resources better for everyone and produce work that's greater than the sum of its parts.

We strive to create communications and resources that are easy for anyone to understand, fostering an environment where different people can collaborate and produce the best work of their careers.

Leave everything better than you found it

Business can be messy sometimes. Progress often means moving forward with incomplete solutions. We try to meet you where you are and treat our stewardship of your systems with respect.

When perfection isn't possible, we strive to leave everyone better off for having worked with us.

Whistle while you work

We take our work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Life is hard enough without being a buzzkill.

We understand that taxes, labor regulations, and insurance can be pretty dry, but their effects are never boring. We try to find the humor in the absurd and have fun in everything we do—even taxes.
