Case Study: Satori Capital

The Policy: Optimal Living

• Satori’s Optimal Living Program helps team members pursue a fulfilling life inside and outside the office by providing flexible hours and work-from-home capabilities as well as 25 days of paid time off annually. In addition, Satori’s offices close for all major holidays, including the entire week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and even the Monday after the Super Bowl (Super Monday).
• The Optimal Living program encompasses a host of additional benefits for team members, including chef-prepared daily healthy lunches, a weekly on-site chiropractor and health adviser, bi-weekly chair massages, and a yearly $1,000 allowance per employee for gym memberships or other health and fitness-related purchases.
• Satori team members also meditate together before meetings, participate in “Satori Serves” charitable activities, and celebrate at the firm’s annual “Gratitude Dinner” and other outings at which family members are welcome.
• Satori recently launched a pilot program that will offer team members back-up child care and assistance with family errands, giving them valuable time back that they can spend with their families.

The Impact

Satori believes that inspired, valued, and supported employees are a foundational part of its success, and it strives to create and sustain a world-class culture that helps all employees thrive.  In a recent anonymous survey, team members commented that Satori had created a, “relaxed and joyful office environment where employees genuinely enjoy working together” and that the firm offers, “a great deal of flexibility, great benefits and perks, and a genuine commitment to employees’ well-being”. A recent hire sought out Satori Capital specifically because the company had been named a “Best Place to Work”.

Employee Feedback

“We know that potential employees are interviewing us as much as we are interviewing them; in fact, we recently hired someone who sought us out specifically because we had been named a ‘Best Place to Work.’ It is a competitive environment, and our goal is to hire only the best, so we are dedicated to continuing to provide value to employees, particularly as they seek that critical work-life balance.” – Cami Miller, Director of Stakeholder Experience

“We understand that by helping team members in all aspects of their lives, we are enabling them to be more focused and productive at work – while also allowing them the space to be more present and enjoy their families when they are at home, as well.” – Willie Houston, Chief Financial Officer
