Our transparent leadership style allows Optii team members to stay in tune with Company goals and performance through regular all-hands meetings.

Because we care what our employees think and encourage candid feedback, we survey employees on various topics, regularly through an app called OfficeVibe.

We promote inclusiveness and camaraderie through regular "hangouts" and team activities.

We've brought on a company culture partner to drive our intentionality around employee engagement and to support our company leaders in facilitating these efforts.
