CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Grow your skill sets in a supportive environment
Hired as an account management supervisor, Kim advanced to become Basis’ first-ever vice president of client learning and enablement. By leveraging company programs and advocating for outside resources, Kim developed essential skills ranging from editing tutorial videos to delivering compelling presentations. As Kim expanded Basis’ certification program for the adtech industry, she battled a tricky case of imposter syndrome, but her manager compassionately quieted those hesitations by reminding Kim of her years successfully managing a client version of the program.

TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP
Leaders value feedback and candor
After more than 15 years with Basis, Risch has a lot to be proud of professionally, but what she values most are her lifelong friendships with colleagues. Basis is uniquely transparent with employees, Risch says, which inspires her to cultivate candor, trust and camaraderie on her team. Viewing feedback as a gift, Risch provides opportunities for employees to give and receive input during 360-degree reviews. Above all else, Risch adheres to three guiding principles: be open about what you don’t know, admit and move on from mistakes and get curious rather than defensive when being challenged.
