A Supportive Culture

Fostering New Talent and Projects

JD Soteldo knows all about new. As a new hire on the Keep Calm Carrier On team, one of his responsibilities is to help develop new products. But with the support he’s gotten from his team, he’s never felt like the odd one out. There were unfamiliar processes to learn, people to meet and company values to internalize, but onboarding felt easy. “It’s been exciting to learn about all of the systems and standards in place that help ensure the team is always deploying the best code possible,” he said. Two months in, he’d already made an impact by helping the company launch a new insurance carrier.

I never had that feeling of being the new guy or like I was on the outside looking in.

A flexible culture — no matter where you are

Brieanna Baron-Legendre

Product Manager

Simply Business wants its employees to work from wherever they feel at home. For Brie, that's in the quiet corner of Connecticut, a little more than an hour south of Boston. Thanks to a virtual-friendly culture and tools like Slack, Zoom and Jira, she doesn't miss a beat in her ability to support a global team or form bonds with coworkers. For Brie, working from home has increased productivity and professional growth because she can repurpose commuting time to focus on customer needs and developing as a new product manager.

Simply Business empowers their employees to work in a way that works for them. Hybrid working has enabled me to transition into a global product management role, something that truly would not have been possible if I was constantly commuting in and out of the city.

What does a company’s growth mean for employees?

After building the U.K.'s growth team, Holland is using her expertise to do it again in the United States. As the business expands its products, partnerships and customer base, her team is growing too, with new roles emerging regularly. "We’re at the start of our journey and there is very much a sense of possibility," she said. "Employees have support to develop their talent and the freedom to move the business forward."

In a growing business, it’s important to regularly stop and think whether we are organized in the best way to meet the challenges of the coming months and whether our people have the opportunity to grow.
