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.
The business software company continues to invest in a hybrid workforce as well as emphasize its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusive health care.
- Building off its “work where you work best” philosophy, Workiva has recently instituted a program in which full-time employees can work from anywhere in the world for 25 workdays within a 12-month period. This improves upon a previous policy in which staff could only work in the 13 countries where Workiva had a legal presence.
- The company has also doubled down on its support for inclusive health care. After the repeal of Roe v. Wade, Workiva announced that it would cover up to $2,500 in travel each year for employees who live more than 100 miles away from a reproductive health provider. Workiva recently added a benefit of $10,000 for employees considering adoption or surrogacy.
- In addition to its commitment to reproductive health care, Workiva makes public its diversity, equity, and inclusion data, with details on gender and racial diversity of staff by location and department as well as data points on disability and sexual orientation.
