Hi Marley Benefits: Seven Ways We Invest in Our Employees

We believe exceptional employees deserve exceptional benefits. Hi Marley strives to create an environment where our people feel supported, valued, and empowered. We’ve taken a proactive approach to adapt our compensation and benefits to align with the evolving needs and priorities of our workforce and implemented a variety of offerings that emphasize flexibility, well-being, and personal growth.

Everyone receives medical, dental and vision on day one, flexible time off, stock options, a 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, a learning and development benefit and much more.

Benefits and Perks that Set Hi Marley Apart and Help Employees Thrive

1. Flexible Work Arrangements: We’ve embraced a Hybrid 2-1-2 strategy, allowing employees to work from the office twice a week, have an optional office day, and work remotely for the other two days. This approach balances opportunities for in-office collaboration and connection with the flexibility of remote work. The 2-1-2 structure provides employees the autonomy to structure their workdays in a way that best suits their personal lives.
2. Comprehensive Wellness Programs: While HSA, FSA, vision, dental, and low-cost affordable healthcare options are available to all employees, our wellness programs extend beyond insurance programs. We take a holistic approach that includes mental health support, stress management resources, and access to wellness apps that cater to individual needs. These additional benefits are available via our current Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance and through our partnership with Joon.io., an app that reimburses our employees up to $50 monthly for eligible health and wellness purchases, including Family Care. At Hi Marley, we also provide benefits like reimbursement for reproductive health travel related to abortion services, coverage for assisted reproductive and infertility treatments, and support for gender-affirming services including hormone therapy, surgery, and fertility preservation, aligning with our commitment to employee well-being and inclusivity.
3. Generous Leave Policies: Employees are encouraged to take advantage of our flexible time off policy to recharge and maintain their well-being. We also recently re-evaluated and enhanced our parental leave policies to ensure they provide adequate support, particularly around short-term disability, to prevent financial strain. This is part of our commitment to supporting employees during significant life events. We also offer a life insurance policy that pays three times your annual salary to aid your loved ones should anything happen.
4. Learning and Development Stipends: As a growth-minded organization, we encourage continuous learning through investments in your professional development. We offer $1,000 annual stipends for employees to pursue learning and development opportunities that align with their career goals. This not only supports individual growth but also enhances the overall skill set of our team. Employees across all departments have leveraged the learning and development stipend for educational materials, certifications, courses, workshops, conferences, memberships, subscriptions, and more!
5. Community Engagement and Volunteer Opportunities: We encourage employees to give back by participating in company-organized community service events. We’ve introduced initiatives like community service and community-building days.  This strengthens our company culture and aligns with our values of humility and ubuntu. Hi Marley employees also can participate in Marley & MEE, a collection of six employee engagement groups that help people across departments connect over similar interests and passions outside of work, including DEI and resource groups, clubs covering a wide range of hobbies like gardening and cooking, a social committee, a book club, a hackathon competition, fundraisers supporting various causes and organizations, and more.
6. Performance-Driven and Market-Competitive Compensation: We’ve developed a compensation model that prioritizes competitive market rates and recognizes individual and team performance. Our approach ensures that we reward employees based on their contributions, with regular benchmarking to stay aligned with industry standards. Focusing on performance and market competitiveness helps us attract and retain top talent while motivating our team to achieve their best.
7. Internal Mobility: Now more than ever, people are re-evaluating their priorities; they want purpose in their careers. We want our employees to feel fulfilled in their roles and continue to grow with us. We encourage and support internal mobility, allowing employees to explore new roles within the company. Our compensation strategy supports this initiative, which ensures that lateral moves and promotions are fairly compensated based on the new responsibilities and market benchmarks.

By continuously adapting to the changing work landscape, we ensure that our employees feel supported, valued, and motivated to bring their best selves to work every day. This dynamic approach to compensation and benefits is key to maintaining our competitive edge and fostering a thriving workplace culture.
