Finding a workplace that actually walks the talk is rare, but according to our team, it's just business as usual here at Bennie. Why join the Bennie? We recently conducted our Q1 Employee Engagement survey in Lattice, and while the data is great, the stories behind the numbers are what move the needle for us. Our team described our culture as "inclusive, transparent, and innovative" but more importantly, they highlighted the integrity that keeps us grounded during the tough times. Here is a glimpse into what it's like to build a career with us: "The integrity, combined with the way my managers have always gone to bat for my best interests, has built a level of loyalty that's rare. I truly appreciate the intentionality....and the way leadership actually listens and acts on our feedback...It's one thing to have a 'people-first' mission statement, but it's another to actually feel it through every promotion and every challenge we've faced." If you're looking for a place where your career can grow notably and your voice is heard, we'd love to meet you. 👉 Check out our open positions here: https://lnkd.in/eZx9xugp

🇵🇭 Some of our team just wrapped up an incredible week in the Philippines! It was a fantastic opportunity to spend time with our Manila-based colleagues, balancing productive sessions with amazing local food and even better company. A few team members officially earned their stripes by trying balut for the first time! (IYKYK…👀) We especially want to recognize our Manila-based team for the vital work they do for Bennie that isn't always visible to our customers, but is deeply felt across our entire organization. There’s nothing like face-to-face time to remind us that no matter the distance, we’re all one team working toward the same goal. 🌎 Kelly Williams, SPHR Kara Thesing Savannah Copeland Greg Autuori Daniel Brundige
