Workiva

Employees say:

"The highly collaborative and supportive environment remains a strong suit at Workiva - I can reach out to coworkers in completely different departments like IT or product mgmt as easily as my peers in marketing. You have an opportunity to "fix" things from day one, and are encouraged to not only better your professional self but also overall processes—the use of AI right now is a prime example. Innovation is welcome in all departments, at every level."

Employees say:

"Workiva stands out as a remarkable place to work because of its genuine care for each and every team member. The management team is deeply committed to our success, both professionally and personally. They ensure a healthy work-life balance, allowing us to fully enjoy our time off without worrying about work. I especially appreciate our all-company meetings, where we celebrate achievements together, fostering a transparent and inclusive environment. Even during challenging times, management's unwavering support and encouragement keep us motivated and optimistic. This unique culture makes our company not just a workplace, but a community that truly values its people."

Employees say: "I love how Workiva truly listens to its employees feedback and takes action on it. We take pride in our culture, our benefits are great, PTO is great, and the Workiva leadership is always making sure our company is up to date on the latest and greatest. They adapt to what employees are seeking today vs. 10 years ago, etc. They don't make you feel guilty for taking time off. They respect and trust you will get your job done and done well."

Employees say:

"The ability to have a hybrid work environment between working from home and having an office environment is such a plus. The amount of paternity leave I receive as a Dad is fantastic. It makes the transition and adjustment of bringing home a new child so much easier."

Workiva, the regulatory, financial, and ESG reporting firm, underwent a year of changes, introducing CEO Julie Iskow in April 2023 while executing the transition with transparency and frequent communications to staff. Iskow launched “Ask me anything, tell me anything” meetings outside of Workiva’s regular town halls to foster dialogue between executive leadership and employees.  

In an effort to celebrate the contributions of its staff, Workiva implemented the MVP (mission, values, principles) employee recognition program, with nominees featured on Connect, Workiva’s intranet, and recognized at quarterly all-staff gatherings. A Platinum MVP award is also given quarterly to employees who go above and beyond in their role. 

The company provides transparency in its diversity demographics: From the third quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023, Workiva increased its female-identifying staff by 3.59%, and employs a non-white-identifying workforce of 22.47%, a rise of 8.18% over the same period.
