FLEXIBLE WORK

VelocityEHS has adapted to a remote-first culture at lightning speed. The global company still feels tight-knit, staying connected through affinity groups, guest speakers, virtual events and a continuous chatter over MS Teams. Managers assess performance by outcomes, not hours worked. Employees are encouraged to find a schedule that optimizes their productivity, and prioritize work-life balance with healthy boundaries. Switching to remote-first work has come with a hidden benefit: a huge boost in hiring diversity. “Remote hiring has allowed us to reach more diverse candidates and hire at a faster rate,” said Sasha Monroe.

PURPOSE AND POTENTIAL

Encouraging development is a high priority

Winnie Ip started at VelocityEHS as an intern. Now, she is an executive and describes herself as a servant leader. She focuses on empowering people to tackle daily challenges and strive to be their best. She also applies this attitude of service in her community, and loves to take advantage of volunteer days. “I truly believe that helping others is my main purpose and nothing gives me greater joy than to see people I have mentored or managed rise up and grow to their full potential,” she said. The team is always giving recognition to top performers, and having a good time while they’re at it.

COO

I believe in empowering people to do great things. I focus most of my time on developing people and teams and in doing so, I help them solve their own problems and anticipate issues that may arise.

REMOTE WORK EVERYWHERE

Uniting a global team

Aercio De Melo

Director of Software Development, Risk

It can be tough to coordinate work across 33 global locations, but Aercio De Melo credits the company with conscientious accommodations for a global team. As an Australian-based team member, he often relies on asynchronous communication to connect with his team during the hours that he is active. Aercio didn’t struggle much with the transition to fully remote work. “Some challenges are part of the deal, including isolation and occasional communication issues. But we are continually working to resolve those issues and overall the performance of the team is greater,” he said.

Remote work gives everyone better control over their environment, more flexibility culminating with a better well-being and work-life balance.

DEI FOCUS

Partnerships and programs to support diversity initiatives

What is Sasha Munroe most proud of in her work with VelocityEHS? The commitment to diversity. She is building partnerships with organizations that support women in tech, people with disabilities, protected veterans and other marginalized groups. She is also a proponent of the employee-led group, Voices, which developed the diversity pillars that serve as the foundation of the company's DEI commitment. Munroe also helps support the Work For All remote-first work program and is thrilled to offer flexible work accommodations that best support employees.
