Agero Work-Life Balance & Wellbeing

What does flexibility in the workplace look like for you, and what practices/policies are in place that support it?

Flexibility for us means meeting our employees where it works best for their lives, while also expanding our talent footprint. Today, we’re proud to have team members all over the country. We offer complete flexibility in terms of working from home, at the office or a blend of both. For those who are local, many of us naturally come into the office every Wednesday; it’s become a great touchpoint for in-person collaboration and connection. Beyond that, we host a dedicated marketing onsite twice a year, where the entire team comes together for a week of skill-building, strategy sessions and team bonding. It’s the perfect balance of day-to-day flexibility and meaningful face-to-face time.

Why is flexibility an important element of Agero’s culture? 

Flexibility is at the heart of our culture because it empowers people to show up fully, both at work and at home. As a mother of an elementary school child with a calendar packed with sports and after-school activities, juggling my work and home life has never been easier. I can make it to an evening soccer practice without having to sacrifice a late afternoon meeting. More importantly, I see how this flexibility supports my team as well. Whether it’s caring for a sick parent, managing home repairs or just needing a mental breather, everyone has the space to navigate life’s curveballs without compromising on productivity. It’s about trusting our people and respecting the realities of their lives.

What tools or meeting structures ensure that a flexible work setup works for everyone? 

We’ve built a strong tool kit and rhythm to make our flexible environment work seamlessly. We use Zoom companywide, but we’ll also jump on Google Meet or Microsoft Teams when it fits the situation. For collaboration and project management, we rely on Slack, HubSpot, Jira and Trello to keep communication clear and projects moving forward. Every Monday, we kick off with a 30-minute all-marketing huddle to align for the week, and we keep momentum going with optional mid-week virtual coworking hours for casual brainstorming. And we always make space for connection beyond work with fun initiatives like Zoom exercise sessions to break up the week, “Photo Fridays” to share snapshots from our lives and other creative touchpoints that keep our culture vibrant and inclusive, no matter where you’re joining from.
