Throughout the year employees have the opportunity to participate in fitness and healthy habit challenges, onsite events and virtual content that employees can access anytime. By combining education, engagement and accessible resources, we make wellness an ongoing part of the employee experience rather than a one-time initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How has your organization adapted its benefits and support systems in response to changing employee needs and expectations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOur organization values employee feedback, reviews workforce trends and utilization data to ensure our benefits and wellness programs evolve with the changing needs of our employees. One of the great pride points of our benefits offering has been keeping our medical premiums unchanged for eight straight years on an already rich medical plan. This intentional investment in our employees provides them with greater financial flexibility in a world where costs continue to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, we introduced a high-deductible health plan option for the first time, which unlocked employees\u2019 ability to contribute (with an employer contribution) to a Health Savings Account, giving them another tool to prepare for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past year, we have expanded our focus beyond traditional health benefits by enhancing our mental health and wellness resources, introducing year-round wellness initiatives and providing greater access to financial wellness education and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These changes provide meaningful flexibility that helps employees thrive both at work and in their personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mentorship Program pairs employees in one-on-one mentor and mentee relationships to encourage professional development, while our Hippo Buddy Program connects new hires with experienced employees who help them acclimate, build relationships, and feel at home from day one. Employees also enjoy access to PerkSpot, which offers thousands of discounts on travel, entertainment, fitness, and everyday purchases, as well as Vetster, providing convenient virtual veterinary care for pet owners. Eligible employees can participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving them the opportunity to share in the company’s long-term success, and Maven offers comprehensive support for family-building, women’s health, and parenting. Our pet-friendly office helps create a welcoming environment for employees and their furry companions, and those who utilize our on-site fitness center have access to a complimentary personal trainer, making it even easier to prioritize physical wellness during the workday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the year, we bring employees together through a variety of virtual and on-site events that foster connection and community across our workforce. We also host an annual Wellness Week leading up to Open Enrollment, featuring educational sessions, wellness resources, and engaging activities that empower employees to prioritize their physical, mental, and financial well-being. Together, these programs reflect our commitment to helping employees thrive both professionally and personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How has your organization adapted its benefits and support systems in response to changing employee needs and expectations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe recognize that employee needs continue to evolve, and we’ve made it a priority to ensure our benefits and support systems evolve alongside them. We regularly gather employee feedback and use those insights to shape our offerings, with a growing focus on holistic well-being, flexibility, and meaningful employee experiences. In recent years, we’ve expanded resources that support employees through different life stages, invested in programs that strengthen connection and professional development, and enhanced wellness education to help employees make informed decisions about their health and benefits. By remaining responsive to employee feedback and emerging workplace trends, we’re able to offer a benefits experience that supports employees both at work and in their personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
