What Wellhub employees are saying

Wellhub provides a safe place for individuals to be themselves. It is rewarding to have constructive conversations regarding diversity and how to improve awareness about this important topic. Debora Souza from the People Team. 

 

I love being part of the diversity committee at Wellhub because we are making an impact to improve the workplace for future generations. Life would not be as fulfilling without the groups that constantly fought for acceptance in a world where everyone should feel adequate. Rodolfo Oviedo from Client Sales.

 

Wellhub has done an incredible job encouraging everyone to be an ally in the workplace and, more importantly, showing how to be an ally. Being self-aware of our actions is impactful and something that everyone is committed to each day. Danielle Perez from Partnerships. 

 

I feel very fortunate to work at a company like Wellhub. Since day one, there has been a sense of belonging in what I do, with my team and the company overall. It was eye-opening to attend a company-wide event and see all the backgrounds, ethnicities, and languages spoken among peers. I am able to comfortably show up as myself (a Black woman, a mother, and so many other identities I carry) on a daily basis and would not trade that for anything.  Jazmine Raveneau from Wellbeing Engagement.
