The employee experience below at Mission Wealth, compared to a typical company.

In 2022, Mission Wealth has invested in its employees by fostering professional and personal growth through initiatives including affinity groups, like volunteering, fitness, book club, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, while expanding the Women on a Mission group. We have expanded on our onboarding process with a focus on mentorship, impact, the mission of Mission Wealth, our company values, and peer relationships. Mission Wealth also introduced an employee award based on peer nominations and voting - the MVP award.

Mission Wealth continued this focus of culture and impact at our annual employee retreats, both in Austin, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona. Both events welcomed all employees and hosted team visioning exercises, group volunteering at both Keep Austin Beautiful and St. Mary's Food Bank, as well as a fun atmosphere where team members got to know each other better over local excursions.

We have continued to advocate for social impact and environmental stewardship in the community, while also strengthening our relationship with nonprofits our employees are passionate about in their communities. In the past year, Mission Wealth was able to contribute to more than 250 nonprofits across the country, as well as worldwide initiatives, including the humanitarian effort in Ukraine. Mission Wealth continues to be a Certified Green Business and leads by example in how other companies can mindfully operate, purchase products, and reduce their carbon footprint. We also continued to foster a culture of caring and impact at Mission Wealth by implementing a Volunteer Time Off policy, where all employees have paid time off for volunteering in addition to our donation matching policy.

"Giving back is a big part of our culture at Mission Wealth," said Seth Streeter, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer. "Our volunteering strategy allows us to stay close as a team and connected within the communities we serve."

Great Place to Work® Trust Index™

All Mission Wealth employees were sent a survey from the Great Place to Work® team, Emprising. The survey asked questions to gain a detailed understanding of the data behind the firm’s employee experience, including the organizational strengths and opportunity areas. The overall design included 60 core Trust Index© statements and two open-ended questions. There were 72 out of 80 responses from employees from June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022, which was a high enough percentage of the firm’s list eligibility. Survey results were based on the 72 responses to the survey. The survey’s scale measured consistency of employee experience: “almost always untrue” to “almost always true”. Scores were presented in % positive: “often true” or “almost always true”.

Survey results indicated that 100% of employees at Mission Wealth agree that the firm is a great place to work, compared to the benchmark of firms listed in the 2021 Great Place to Work® Global Employee Engagement Study, which was 57% (and all employees at a typical U.S. based company).
