Lets talk about work culture.
Starfish is dedicated to fostering a family-oriented work culture, deeply integrating this ethos into our core values and daily practices. Here's how we stand out:
1. Flexible Work Options: We champion a robust work-from-home program, promoting remote work during adverse weather or illness to prioritize our team's well-being over office attendance.
2. Employee Engagement: Every month, we engage in team-building activities—ranging from games to local business visits—to enhance camaraderie and connect with our fellow coworkers.
3. Incentives: To boost morale and encourage innovation, we reward our team with PTO, gift cards, and more, recognizing their hard work and achievements.
4. Recognition: We celebrate our team members' successes, fostering a culture of support and acknowledgment.
5. Professional Development: Investing in our team's growth, we offer resources for skill development, certification funding, and learning opportunities, ensuring continual advancement.
6. Mental Health and Well-being: Our quarterly check-ins aren't just about performance. We focus on the mental health and external factors that could be affecting our employees, emphasizing our commitment to each team member's success and security.
7. Work-Life Balance: We support ample paid time off and flexible scheduling, recognizing the importance of life outside work—be it family time, vacations, or mental health breaks.
8. Individuality and Expression: We embrace personal expression, whether through attire or tattoos, valuing autonomy and confidence within our team.
9. Inclusion: Proudly LGBTQ+ friendly and Hispanic-owned, with a woman CEO, Starfish champions equity and inclusion, ensuring a welcoming environment for all, regardless of background or identity.
10. Collaboration and Flexibility: Valuing diverse perspectives and experiences, we encourage our team to contribute their unique ideas, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation for our clients' success.
We believe these practices not only enrich our work environment but also contribute significantly to our overall success.
