At Clearcover, our people-first culture is focused on promoting employee happiness, which begins with ensuring that all employees are mentally healthy. To support and promote the mental health of all Clearcover-ers, we offer a series of virtual meditation and yoga sessions, ensure flexibility through Focus Fridays and Summer Flex schedules, have a dedicated Slack channel to discussions of all things #mental-health, and program a variety of monthly mental health workshops with the added availability of one-on-one sessions with licensed therapists.

Read MoreAs we email, instant message, and meet over Zoom with our fellow Clearcover-ers across the country, we started to wonder… where, exactly, are we all working? How have we put our stipends to use to create workspaces that promote productivity and where we comfortably spend several hours each day? To answer these questions and more we turned to the location of many of our day-to-day conversations, Slack! In a company-wide channel devoted to our "cribs," we joined the "April Remote Office Challenge" to decide whose home offices would stand out in the categories for "Best Vibe," "Comfiest," and "Best Office Gadget."
Read MoreOver the past two years, Clearcover's team has more than doubled in size. As a remote-first company, we've had the great fortune of hiring top talent from across the country and, as a result, over 60% of our team members live outside of the Chicago area where our headquarters are located, and Clearcover-ers now reside in 30 states.
At Clearcover, we established our people-first culture to ensure employee happiness and to guarantee that all Clearcover-ers feel supported and heard by every level of leadership. Throughout our rapid growth and sudden pivot to a remote workforce two years ago, Clearcover employees constantly prove themselves to be flexible, dedicated and driven to succeed. Clearcover is only able to continue to grow and innovate through the efforts of the hundreds of talented individuals who make up our teams. In honor of National Employee Appreciation Day, we dedicated the month of March to thanking all of our employees and to highlighting those individuals who consistently embody our Leadership Principles and put forth exemplary efforts to the benefit of their projects and the company as a whole.
