When I started working at PaySimple 2 years ago, I knew that it was a special place. After six months, I was given the inspiring title of Empowerment Director, verifying once again just how amazing this company is. My favorite line quickly became: PaySimple doesn’t do Human Resources, PaySimple does Empowerment!

With a strong leadership team in place that provided guidance and encouragement, we were quickly able to create a culture and environment that attracted not only the brightest talent, but the greatest people. Since our team members were working so hard and giving us so much, we wanted to show them our respect and appreciation in return. Some of the many benefits of working at PaySimple include: Friday lunches and happy hours, participation in team sports, a relaxed dress code, free public transportation passes, gym membership reimbursements, and weekly recognition programs.

When I heard of the Denver Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work” competition earlier this year, I knew that PaySimple had to enter. After I filled out an initial application, we were contacted by Quantum Market Research to complete an employee survey. The survey categories included: team effectiveness, retention risk, alignment with goals, trust with co-workers, individual contribution, manager effectiveness, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, work engagement, and people practices.

I was so excited to receive the news that based on the survey results, we made it into the top 10 in the medium-sized company category and were named a finalist! Co-founders Eric Remer and Allen Wolff attended a breakfast with me yesterday that was sponsored by the Denver Business Journal. We were thrilled to find out that we finished in sixth place, but of course with our “driven PaySimple mentality,” we are already motivated to improve that ranking next year.

In just three years, we have expanded out of three offices in downtown Denver, grown to over 40 employees, are delighted to serve over 2,500 small and mid-sized businesses across the United States, and look forward to stepping up to the opportunities that we continue to create with our powerful energy. With this being said, we truly cherish each and every one of our team members, for it is all of them that has made PaySimple one of the best places to work.
