Office Environment:
At Dragonboat we take two main routes to show our employees we appreciate them.
First, we feel it is vital to reward our employees’ hard work and contributions. We practice continuous evaluation of each employee’s compensation to ensure they are rewarded for their contribution and market rate. We create a clear line of sight of how an individual's work contributes to the overall business and customer impact so we can review proactively throughout the year, without waiting for an annual cycle. That way our teams can grow into their career ambitions and achieve even more success.
And secondly, we want our team members to know they are valued by celebrating the work they’ve done with genuine and thoughtful recognition in the form they value most. This belief is reinforced by our quarterly "Out of This World" award with public recognition and a spot bonus to team members who achieve above and beyond their role expectations. We believe that teams that are constantly celebrating wins – big and small – are the best equipped to succeed.
With our approach, the results speak for themselves. Annually, 80% of our employees get raises, promotions, or additional responsibilities within one quarter of their start date. Surprising team members with raises and promotions initiated by their managers before they need to ask creates trust and ensures the team feels seen and valued. We believe that rewarding hard work and dedication is essential to cultivating a culture of excellence. Our team members are constantly pushing themselves to be their best, and we want to recognize them for it.
As a part of our mission to seek new perspectives, we put in place internal awareness, discussion, and measures to identify and combat unconscious bias. We encourage feedback with our monthly employee surveys and a grass-roots culture team to help us continuously improve our culture and workplace. Lastly, we want our teams to know their differences are celebrated and as such, we acknowledge holidays from all cultures.
Additionally, our employee compensation is based on job levels, not based on location. We keep full transparency on job levels across functions to promote pay equity across the company. And finally, in order to maintain a fair and consistent promotion process, we are committed to providing our employees with clear goals and performance-based rewards that are well deserved.
Dragonboat is a company that truly makes a real impact in helping companies build and deliver better products. And to continuously achieve that, we focus on the outcomes not the policies, meaning you can work from anywhere, on your own schedule. Our employees are people first and we want to allow you the space for personal growth. To do that, we offer a diverse team that is driven and humble, new opportunities for you to explore, and an environment that works responsively, collaboratively and without chaos.
Empowerment.
At Dragonboat, we believe that empowering everyone involved in a business is key to true success.
We empower our team with clear goals, strategies, and resources so they can do their best work and achieve more. We empower our customers with the best in class toolset to make better decisions and achieve better business outcomes. And we empower our community with support, training, and industry-knowledge so they can grow more and achieve more.
Our focus on empowering our team, customers, and community allows us to be the most effective partner possible for each of them. Empowerment allows everyone to reach their full potential and achieve success together.
