What's the Company Culture Like at Justworks?

Justworks Employee Perspectives

What are some examples of ways your company supports or advocates for the LGBTQIA+ community beyond the month of June?

Justworks focuses on opening space for honest feedback, and elevating the safety and wellbeing of LGBTQIA+ in the workplace. Most recently, Justworks updated language used within its app and platform to further recognize the nuances of the LGBTQIA+ experience in healthcare.

 

How does your company support and empower the LGBTQIA+ members of your team? 

Cultivating an inclusive and equitable workplace, workforce and ecosystem is a top priority for Justworks.

LGBTQIA+ members are encouraged to bring their full selves to work, and it is highly encouraged that managers open space for different lived experiences. All Justworks managers participate in an inclusive people management training focused on relationship building, social identity in leadership and disrupting interpersonal bias. 

Year round, LGBTQIA+-owned businesses can participate in our JustThrive program, offering credits for admin fees to create access around critical business tools Justworks offers for entrepreneurs hard at work.

On Justworks' revamped onboarding experience:

"Nobody wants to feel like they’re hired just to fill a seat. The whole goal here is to allow people to feel as though they can contribute quicker, that their role matters and that they have the tools available for them to do that, right from the beginning.”

Justworks Employee Reviews

From the moment I began the interview process, it became clear that Justworks was the company I had been searching for.

Throughout the interviews, what struck me the most was the genuine transparency. There was an open dialogue about how Justworks operates and what qualities the team was seeking in candidates.

Justworks has allowed me to find the right people, and it’s a place where mission and culture are at the forefront of everything we do. Not only that, but we keep thinking of ways to make space for everyone to show up authentically at work. Everyone embodies and respects the company’s values: camaraderie, openness, grit, integrity and simplicity.
