Alignment of Values
KnowBe4’s employees, including our leadership, practice extreme ownership, radical transparency, and complete honesty. Through extreme ownership, employees totally own their sphere of responsibility and take full ownership over their area. When something goes wrong, no one passes the blame. Instead, everyone looks internally to see what they could have done better to prevent the issue. Through radical transparency, we have cultivated an environment of freedom and trust. By practicing complete honesty, employees feel comfortable sharing feedback and accepting it, and it allows our employees to be on the same page. These values are the foundation of our culture and people. Our CEO, Stu, is one-of-a-kind! Not only has he cultivated a company culture of highly productive and happy employees, but he also puts a big emphasis on continued learning. Stu encourages employees to spend one hour a day learning new skills or strengthening existing ones. He truly serves as a model of KnowBe4 values. He hosts regular “Ask Me Anything” sessions and randomly selects employees each month to have lunch with him. Stu’s “No Door Policy” encourages employees to share ideas and ask questions. He welcomes all individuals to bring their true authentic selves to work!
Respect
At KnowBe4, we recognize the value of building a diverse team that draws on different backgrounds and experiences. Our culture heavily focuses on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. For example, we offer employee resource groups to all of our employees. Our employee resource groups are designed to give employees a place to come together with others in KnowBe4 who may have shared experiences. Additionally, all employees are encouraged to bring their ideas forth to leadership with our “no-door policy.” We even have a suggestion box where all employees can submit their ideas to make KnowBe4 even better!
Killer Outcomes
Every morning at KnowBe4, employees start their workday with a 5-20 minute company-wide daily briefing, where our CEO, Stu, and other executives, update all Knowsters about current happenings in KnowBe4 and within our industry. Next, all departments at KnowBe4 collaborate during daily team stand-up meetings, so every employee is fully aware of what others on their team are working on. These quick, yet effective check-ins, allow Knowsters to communicate with one another while also having dedicated time to coordinate, brainstorm, and share ideas.
