“Burnout and stress are at all-time highs across professions,” announced the American Psychological Association in January.

The data backs it up. Burned-out employees have higher turnover rates and lower productivity, and relief seems hard to come by — the APA’s 2022 trends report cited “unrelenting stressors” for workers across industries and in “nearly every domain of life.”

That’s where Limeade comes in.

Their suite of software tools provides science-based solutions to improve employee experience and engagement. Beyond their product offerings, Limeade walks their talk with their own flexible, inclusive workplace. Their documented equal pay policy, commitment to gender pay parity, mentorship programs and employee resource groups ensure a safe and equitable workplace, while generous leave, flexible schedules and robust benefit packages support meaningful work-life balance.

Built In Seattle learned more about how Limeade is changing employee experience both through their product offerings and for its own employees.

 

 

What they do: Limeade is a software company offering a suite of research-backed products including Limeade Well-Being, Limeade EX and TINYpulse by Limeade, which help companies improve their employees’ health, experience and engagement. Their integrated and personalized programs meet users where they are in order to connect them to the right resources, connect with coworkers and provide their employers with relevant and valuable insights.

 

The perks:

  • Wellness programs including an onsite gym, exercise classes, fitness subsidies and mental health benefits
  • Commuter benefits and parking for in-office colleagues
  • Remote work program including a work-from-home stipend
  • Employee resource groups and a diversity and inclusion council
  • Charitable contribution matching and an annual day off to volunteer

 

Building a holistic workplace: Limeade’s holistic approach to employee experience and robust benefits work together to build a welcoming and healthy workplace  “Like a lot of tech companies, we hire the best and brightest people,” said Limeade’s Built In Seattle profile. “But what sets us apart is our focus on the ‘whole employee.’ We encourage LimeMates to take walking meetings, race around on scooters or unwind with meditation breaks. These aren’t ‘extra perks.’ They’re an authentic part of our culture.”
