Flexibility and connection are the cornerstones of Educational Benefits’ (EBI’s) people-first culture, where 90% of staff members work remotely, a model shaped by leadership after listening to employee feedback. The company has committed itself to ensuring its employees feel heard, and it has paid off with annual turnover of only 7%.
Regular “Table Talks” with company CEO David Chance and an annual companywide town hall give employees consistent opportunities to share ideas, provide feedback on policies and learn details about company operations. Semiannual performance reviews and opportunities for lateral or upward moves give employees room for growth.
A robust benefits package also keeps employee engagement high. The company matches 100% of retirement contributions up to 3% of an employee’s total annual pay, and half of the next 2%, helping team members build long-term financial security. Milestone recognitions include crystal service awards and paid “staycations” starting at five years.
