Justworks, as a young, growing company, knows how important it is to have a strong set of guiding values to lead them successfully towards their goals. Their values are:
The company says that people are their number one asset. The company invests in you, and managers and higher-level employees invest in you because they share the values of the company.
Daniel Park, a Sales Manager, said, "One particular manager that I had, really took me under his wing and mentored me. Now that I lead a team, I value the hard work, openness, and honesty that my manager identified in me."
The Culture at Justworks
A Place Where All is Right & Just
The culture at Justworks is made up of a welcoming, friendly and tight-knit group of hardworking employees. It is definitely start-up culture exemplified. It is totally common to go out to lunch with co-workers, and there is never a loss of options, being in New York City and all. There are annual summer camps that are great ways to get to know each other. The company also organizes lunches monthly, so people from different areas of the company have a better chance of meeting and getting to know each other.
The Justworks team is also very dedicated to volunteering in the community. There are Justworks-sponsored initiatives on a regular basis, along with employees being able to take volunteer time. In fact, every Justworks employee gets up to five fully paid volunteer days. We've seen one or two, but five is really something. Justworks also dispatches fair business practices through its Partnerworks program, where is provides learning, development, recruitment and networking opportunities for those who may be underrepresented in the industry.
That last aspect of Justworks culture is an industry-leading amount of diversity. The company has a dedicated diversity board to make sure that the company is best utilizing unique perspectives and creating a fair environment. They even have a diversity 'manifesto' of sorts, spelling out their views and beliefs on diversity and inclusion and why it's the right way to go.

It is in the heart of one of the greatest cities in the world and comes with all the perks and benefits of being so.
People Operations Advisor Danielle Docheff said, "Justworks offers monthly workshops like feedback skills and time management to support both personal and professional development. We also host casual lunch and learns called "Poppin' Sessions" led by fellow employees, which educate employees about different teams at a deeper level so they can explore different roles and positions.
