Company Culture at Mission Wealth

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

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 our onboarding process with a focus on mentorship, impact, the mission of Mission Wealth, our company values, and peer relationships. Mission Wealth also continued the  Mission Wealth MVP program, an employee award based on peer nominations and voting for the second year in a row.

Mission Wealth continued this focus of culture and impact at our annual employee retreat in Santa Barbara, California. While team members were welcomed from around the country, the retreat hosted team visioning exercises, group volunteering at a local beach clean up with Explore Ecology, 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. Recently, Mission Wealth team members came together for the first annual Week of Giving. Throughout the week, employees volunteered together in their local communities throughout nine regions and varying from food banks to no-kill animal shelters. In the past year, Mission Wealth was able to contribute to more than 250 nonprofits across the country, as well as continuing worldwide impact, 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.

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. Survey results were based on the 82 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”.

Methodology: Great Place to Work Certification for this year (2023-2024) leverages 30 years of research to quantify the current state of a workplace’s culture and shows you how it compares to the best in the world. Mission Wealth applies to get certified and launches the survey to all employees in July of each year. Employees are asked but not required to complete the survey. At least 75% of employees need to fill out survey to be eligible for certification.
