Why Palo Alto Networks Is a Next Gen Workplace
Palo Alto Networks puts its employees in the driver's seat when it comes to the workplace. With FLEXWORK, Palo Alto Networks is creating a way of working that enables each employee individually. FLEXWORK was developed in full collaboration with employees with inclusion and diversity at the core—recognizing employees should be empowered to make the choices that best support their unique situation. Employees are able to create a work environment that fits their personal circumstances in where they work (FLEXLocation), how and what they learn (FLEXLearn) and what wellness means to them (FLEXBenefits). Palo Alto Networks gives employees a wellness stipend and challenges them to spend it on something meaningful to them individually, including camps for children, obedience classes for dogs, tickets to concerts, and a variety of other options. When employees spend their days keeping the world safe and secure, their benefits should do the same for them.
