Why Policygenius Is a Next Gen Workplace
People are at the core of everything Policygenius does. Policygenius invests in strong benefits—insurance, generous PTO, 401(k) matching, a pet “pawlicy”—and prioritizes creating a great employee experience. Even during a pandemic and adjusting to remote work, they maintained their people-first, values-first philosophy by expanding mental health offerings and supply budgets to ensure employees could bring their best selves to work, even at home. Parents were offered flexible work hours and Policygenius launched digital wellness-focused programming. They prioritized social responsibility and diversity, equity and inclusion, including matching charitable donations and investing in employee affinity groups. Policygenius’s talent philosophy reinforces professional development, team recognition, and company celebrations. They prioritize promoting from within and have “skill development rubrics” for every role, so employees can focus on the next step in their career. There are designated Slack channels to celebrate releases, company news and awards, and most importantly, individual employees, whether birthdays, work anniversaries, or shoutouts for good work.
