P

A

Alignment of Values

They are very transparent with the team and act on feedback they receive. For example, when they heard from employees that there wasn’t enough clarity on our strategy, they started providing a bi-weekly update in our all-team meeting to make sure that employee’s had that focus.

R

Respect

We do a monthly Ask Me Anything with our co-CEOs where employees anonymously submit questions, ideas and feedback and the co-CEOs spend an hour responding to them live. We do regular pulse surveys and an annual engagement survey to create additional anonymous ways for people to raise concerns and share ideas and feedback.

K

Killer Outcomes

Employees at FreeWill collaborate by working together to build, design, and roll out products that help nonprofits raise money. We have brainstorm sessions, collaborative decision “gate” meetings, and use Slack to be in regular communication about projects.
