Upwork:Culture: Difference between revisions

Upwork's culture is centered on a cultural framework: "People first, business next, opportunity is third." Hayden Brown is in charge of championing this framework. It entails having a close relationship with the company's workforce, clients, and freelancers. This cultural framework involves many things, including caring for employees' welfare<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IIwXfzWLHg</ref>. For instance, an employee or independent professional joining the company is assigned an onboarding buddy to assist him in adapting quickly to the work environment<ref name=":0" />.

The company also encourages professional growth. Unlike some companies that rarely motivate their employees to keep learning, Upwork has a career development budget. It also has courses tailored to each employee's individual needs<ref>https://www.upwork.com/press/releases/erin-thomas-upwork-head-of-diversity-inclusion-and-belonging</ref>.
