An Insider's view of FRONTSTEPS

How does your team reward individual success?

From personal experience, I can attest that hard work at FRONTSTEPS absolutely pays off. I’ve only been with the company for a few years, and my dedication and desire to do my best have consistently been recognized and rewarded; this includes several promotions. We also recognize hard work through a kudos channel and monthly Core Value Awards.

What projects are you most excited about?

I’m excited about the new platform that we’re launching. And we're building rich new customer experiences w/ some household brand names. We're clearly the leader in our industry, but we aren’t taking that for granted. Every client, resident & partner who sees our new products are super impressed. It’s a fun position to be in.

Matt DeWolf

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I have been given the freedom to initiate and lead initiatives that I wouldn't have been able to in a larger company. After 4 years at FRONTSTEPS, I've grown in responsibility over our People Operations and our people initiatives have gained momentum inside the business. Develop our People is FRONTSTEPS #1 Core Value for a reason!

Juli

Director, People Operations

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

I keep my office door open as much as possible to enable anyone to provide timely feedback and seek advice when the unexpected happens. For that to be successful I build relationships with people across my organization to let them know they can come to me whenever necessary and sometimes just to chat and catch up.

Leo Haasbroek

What is your vision for the company?

Our vision is to change the conversation around HOA software and be a catalyst in opening up communication between neighbors, HOA Boards and community associations. We are building more than a company, it’s truly an effort to develop a culture of growth and excellence as a team.
