Cox Enterprises Work-Life Balance & Wellbeing

When I log off for the day from my job as senior director of product strategy at Cox Automotive, I step into an entirely different world: my very own farm, Whim-Wham Art Farm in Canton, GA, where soil meets soul.

I’ve always believed that work-life balance isn’t just a tagline — it’s a blueprint on how we should spend our days on this Earth. Thanks to the flexibility and support I’ve found here at Cox, I get to live that truth every day. It’s more than PTO policies or hybrid schedules (although those are great, too); it’s about how Cox empowers me to chase my dreams, nurture creativity and find meaning beyond the Monday-to-Friday routine.

What I love most is how my life at Cox gives me room to breathe, dream and dig deep, literally and metaphorically. On weekdays, I help drive innovation and research within our product organization. On weekends, I harvest flowers, create bouquets for the farmers market and manage all things social media and branding for the farm.

That duality isn’t a juggling act; it’s a privilege. And it works because Cox doesn’t just talk about employee experience — it truly invests in it. I’ve felt the difference in how leaders support flexibility, how teammates cheer on each other’s passions and how everyone encourages authenticity — in and out of the office. At the end of the day, whether I’m presenting in a team meeting or planting the next season of crops alongside Nicole, I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
