Mission-first culture and 'Whole Person
Promise' to employees drives continued growth as company puts down
deeper roots in N.C. with newly opened headquarters campus
RALEIGH,
N.C., Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandwidth
Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global enterprise cloud
communications company, today announced it has again won a "Best
Places to Work" award in its hometown Triangle, N.C., region from
the Triangle Business Journal. Winners were selected based
on employee engagement survey results, which measured 30 culture
and satisfaction drivers that are critical to an organization's
success.
"We are honored to receive this recognition during a pivotal
year at Bandwidth, as we put down deeper roots in North Carolina and flourished in our mission
to serve customers, while lifting up our people and our communities
worldwide," said Rebecca Bottorff,
Bandwidth's Chief People Officer. "And while we were exceptionally
proud to move into our new Raleigh
headquarters this month, the best thing about our new space is our
joy in working together and the strong relationships this creates
with each other."
Bandwidth's mission-first culture is centered on meaningful work
and investing in the bodies, minds and spirits of its team members,
or "Bandmates." Combined, these elements form a pledge that
Bandwidth calls the "Whole Person Promise" to help Bandmates stay
highly engaged, healthy and balanced. Programs include:
- A culture focused on working for and loving the success of each
other to achieve the ultimate mission of supporting customers. This
approach has contributed to customer satisfaction levels
consistently above 97 percent as Bandwidth continues to hit new
innovation milestones.
- Development opportunities to ensure meaningful work and help
team members actively learn and grow in their careers. For example,
fully 24 percent of Bandwidth team members were promoted in the
past 12 months.
- Quarterly "challenges" that inspire Bandmates to be more
innovative, healthier, think more deeply about important topics and
push themselves to develop further, both professionally and
personally.
- A vacation embargo that allows team members to truly unplug and
disconnect when they take time off, while enabling colleagues to
step up in their absence.
- 90-minute workout lunches to help Bandmates achieve their
wellness goals by doing sports and recreational activities
together, going to the gym or just taking a walk. The company has a
fitness center and sports complex at its headquarters campus and
provides on-site exercise facilities at many offices, as well as
free gym memberships.
- "Mahalo Moments" that help Bandmates celebrate life's most
important milestones by offering two extra days off, such as for a
first wedding anniversary, first home purchase, becoming a citizen
and more.
- A "Go! Do! Day!" to have paid time off to participate in causes
closest to team members' hearts, which encourages individual
activism and community involvement.
- Unity groups that bring together team members with similar
interests and provide a forum for Bandmates with differing ideas or
backgrounds to share their stories, educate fellow Bandmates and
develop empathy and understanding for each other.
Bandwidth's unique culture also has been featured by
organizations including the Today Show, Fast Company,
Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. To learn about
