Prioritizing Workplace Mental Health

Supportive Workplace Culture

Creating a place where every employee can learn and grow

Investing in our team: Mission Partners embraces a teaching hospital mentality, where talents are celebrated and shared through experiential learning. The firm invests in employees through opportunities that support professional development and collaboration and mentorship across teams.

Work style preferences: Mission Partners employees complete a work preferences survey to provide guidance on preferred work styles for their manager. Sample questions include preferences for morning or afternoon meetings, personality type, and the types of work that employees find draining or energizing.

Open channels for feedback: Employees can provide both anonymous and attributed feedback through quarterly satisfaction surveys. Mission Partners conducts annual retention interviews with team members on the anniversary of their hire to learn about their experience and identify opportunities for growth. And employees can anonymously report instances of harassment, discrimination, or bias directly to a member of the leadership team.

Mental Health Benefits

Prioritizing physical and mental health through guaranteed benefits

Time for rest: Mission Partners offers a generous benefits package, including nearly double the national average for individual paid time off and office closures throughout the year to create shared time off for the full team.

Beyond PTO: Employees can take advantage of two tracks through the Mission Partners sabbatical program, which offers both paid and unpaid extended time away from the office.

Caring Beyond Compliance

Centering justice, equity, diversity and inclusion

Challenging white dominant norms: Mission Partners has made a clear commitment with employees and clients to set thoughtful boundaries and expectations that prioritize mental health and wellbeing, and that work to uproot white dominant norms in the workplace. Team members are encouraged to challenge harmful instances of false urgency, and to take advantage of flexible schedules to protect mental health and prevent employee burnout.

Transparency in operations: In job openings, Mission Partners publishes salary information to contribute to a transparent hiring process and actively support closing the national gender and racial wage gaps. The company conducts blind reviews of application materials, and current staff interview job candidates, providing anonymous feedback to inform selection.

Holistic Wellness at Work

Providing additional opportunities to support mental health and wellness

Free, company-wide wellness programming: Mission Partners maintains a Wellness@Work program for all employees and contractors, as well as a healthy budget to support employee mental health efforts. The program is guided by direct feedback from employees. The Wellness@Work program provides dedicated time for learning opportunities, employee milestone celebrations, team gatherings, as well as programming that supports the mental health of our team—such as yoga, meditation, or journaling.

Mind-body connection:The link between physical and mental health is documented, but can be difficult to prioritize in a virtual office. At Mission Partners, employees are encouraged to take regular walking meetings with their colleagues and managers.
