Since transitioning to a fully remote work environment in 2020, FluentStream has reimagined its work culture and shed many traditional workplace norms. For instance, FluentStream grants equity to all employees, a unique offering shared by only 35% of private companies, according to the Society for Human Resources Management. In addition, each employee is given access to mentorship and professional coaching programs and a generous annual stipend for learning and development.

Additionally, FluentStream encourages employees to give back by providing 20 hours of volunteer service paid for by the company, and the company looks for opportunities to volunteer as an organization. Also, instead of vacation, sick and personal time, employees are provided with Discretionary Time Off, which allows employees to decide when and how long to take time off. Employees are encouraged to take up to four weeks off annually.

“Our employees are what make FluentStream a special place to work and they are what drives loyalty among our customers and partners,” said Cass Gilmore, CEO, FluentStream. “When we opted to operate as a fully remote organization, it challenged us to rethink the modern workplace for the modern workforce. We continue to listen and learn and try new things to benefit our employees and our corporate culture. This will be an ongoing endeavor as we deeply value the critical role our employees play in making FluentStream a success.”

FluentStream provides its SMB customers with a customizable communication platform that offers 100+ features to support hybrid and remote work environments, including cloud-based calling, conferencing, remote system administration and analytics, making it possible for FluentStream customers to thrive from any location or device. FluentStream’s services can be managed from a convenient, easy-to-use web portal or via FluentStream Mobile or FluentStream Admin - all resources that empower customers to enable services and set their preferences.

In addition to Built In’s workplace recognition, FluentStream won the 2023 Stevie Award for Great Employers and TMCnet’s 2023 Tech Culture Award for Workplace Excellence. For more information about FluentStream, visit https://www.fluentstream.com.
