“Reimagine how companies take care of their people. In 2018, Benepass’s CEO Jaclyn Chen had a family member pass away suddenly. This had a huge impact on her professional and personal life. The perks she received from her company seemed inadequate. The support she needed the most, like bereavement counseling, wasn't available. The idea of catering benefits to general populations instead of the individual didn’t work. Jaclyn wanted to change that. Benepass introduced one of the industry’s first total rewards and lifestyle spending account (LSA) platforms. Today we’re the vendor of choice for 60+ clients representing 100,000+ employees in more than 30 countries.”

“A core element of our culture is our on-sites. We get together in person quarterly in different locations in North America (Last year, we went to NYC, Chicago, Austin, and Colorado). While we enjoy being a remote company, we also understand that nothing replaces in-person time when it comes to bonding and connecting as a team. After doubling in size over the last year, we’ve started seeing pockets of Benepeople in the same geographical location meet up in real life in areas such as Austin, NYC, and Bay Area/Sacramento. We’ve also created programs like quarterly activities (We did a virtual haunted house tour for Halloween!), Benepass Library where our team gives book suggestions they read and much more.”

“We want to provide benefits and perks that are ACTUALLY going to make a difference in our employees’ lives outside of work. We offer competitive benefits and perks such as $100 for internet/cell phone, $500 for a home office setup, $100 for wellness, a Talkspace membership, partnerships with Kindbody, and much more. But most importantly, we genuinely believe in work-life balance even though we're a hyper-growth startup. We know almost every startup has "unlimited PTO" and that it poses its own set of challenges, but we truly encourage all our employees to take time for themselves and disconnect. We understand that to thrive within a company that has audacious goals, it's crucial for employees to have self-care. We have a “Where's Waldo Slack channel where employees voluntarily post if they are away from their desks during regular work hours. This encourages our employees to be flexible with their schedules if they have appointments or errands and also makes for great water cooler conversations. It’s a fun, organic way we build relationships and learn about common interests.”
