In one word, Cody Hoskin describes Homebot as vibrant. Vibrancy manifests in Homebot’s enthusiastic and lively company culture. “I’ve never worked at a place that energizes me simply by way of my showing up,” said Hoskin, director of legal and compliance. Cultivating and sustaining a company culture like this requires intentionality, and that’s what Homebot has. Employees play a pivotal role in intentionally building culture beyond events, career development and mentorship programs. For example, “Opportunities for Improvement” groups bring team members across departments together to work toward supporting a common business goal. “The entire company is invested in understanding, maintaining and nurturing the company culture,” Hoskin said.

Perks and benefits that let employees unplug
Davis cherishes Homebot’s generous time off, from PTO to quarterly mental health days to volunteer days. She also appreciates the 12-week parental leave policy. “I love watching my colleagues use that time during what is the most exciting time in their lives,” she said. In her five years at Homebot, Davis has seen the People Operations team innovate to offer employees benefits that matter, like time to unplug. “Whether it’s how we structure a meeting, what we do for fun or how we interview people, there’s nothing too big or small to keep iterating on until we get it right,” she said.

Director, Legal and Compliance
Homebotters have “seemingly limitless” chances to shape a positive company culture. Leadership’s open-door policy allows employees to discuss ideas, and the People Operations team solicits quarterly feedback about ways to improve culture. True to Homebot’s value of collaboration, cross-functional teams address company-wide concerns. Hoskin recently joined a team tasked with improving the ability for employees to connect with each other. Their work led to a shadowing program, a community service event and more events intended to create space for remote employees to engage with their peers.
Homebot’s company culture — with its emphasis on open communication, mutual respect and creativity — enables us to come up with a solution that accounts for all stakeholders and best serves the company as a whole.
