Candor

Candor is on a Billboard on Times Square! How cool is that?! Over the past 3 years, our team has worked hard to make remote teams happier and more productive. Seeing Candor in Times Square is a proud moment for us and a celebration of our journey so far. But we’re just getting started—there’s much more ahead! 🐘✨ Big thanks to Brex and Erica Wenger 🏕️! #bigapplebuilders

Thoughtful messages are proven to have a bigger impact than physical gifts because they resonate on a personal level. They make teammates feel seen and appreciated, which helps build a stronger culture of recognition. That’s why we recently launched Birthdays and Work Anniversaries, a fun way to celebrate your teammates on their special days 🥳 Here’s how it works: 🗓 Add your dates: each teammate adds the date of their birthday and first day on the team. 🔔 Get reminders: When a special day is approaching, everyone on the team receives a reminder to share personalized notes, fun memories, or celebratory messages. 🎉 Celebrate together: On the big day, they’ll receive everyone’s celebratory notes, with lots of confetti. Notes are visible to the whole team, allowing everyone to react and comment. More about Birthdays and Work Anniversaries: https://lnkd.in/dH9XxsMX

🔔 Make sure no one feels forgotten on their birthday or work anniversary ever again. Introducing our latest feature: Birthdays and Work Anniversaries! Share personalized wishes, fun memories, and celebratory messages on your teammates’ special days. 🎉 We’ll remind you to write your messages in advance, then send them to your teammate on the day of their celebration — with lots and lots of confetti. You can also celebrate new hires on their first day of work to give them a proper welcome to the team! Plus, all the celebrations can sync to a dedicated Slack channel.

A people-first company is more than just Fun Fridays and free office snacks. Leadership coach Stefano C. says: “Beyond the colorful and comfortable perks, there are substantial advantages to fostering a culture that prioritizes its workforce. [...] companies that have built a culture that prioritizes employee well-being have observed a profound impact on business success.” This week on the Candor blog, Stefano shares the 5 key benefits of putting people at the center of your culture, to help your company grow. ✔️ Engagement: Employees who feel valued and aligned with their company’s values perform better. ✔️ Turnover: Addressing both their professional and personal needs saves money on hiring and retains valuable expertise. ✔️ Reputation: Companies with a people-focused culture attract top talent, especially younger generations who prioritize work-life balance. ✔️ Innovation: Fewer hierarchies and less micromanagement encourage employees to explore new, creative solutions. ✔️ Customer satisfaction: Happy employees are more likely to deliver exceptional service and make customers return.
