15 Tech Companies Great For Flexible Working

How and where we work have changed so much over the five years, and it’s having a lasting impact on company structure.

While some companies like Amazon are making employees return to an office full-time, we know that job seekers still demand flexibility when it comes to location, schedules and culture because the old way of working, well, wasn’t really working. 

In the Purpose Jobs community alone, there are so many companies with flexible working policies. They have remote options, flex time, and empathetic cultures so that you can really own how you work. Bonus — many of them are hiring!

GreenLancer

Based in downtown Detroit, GreenLancer is a climate tech company that fosters a dynamic work environment. Its workplace model includes fully in-person and hybrid employees. Although they offer flexibility for other important commitments, like parenting or medical care, most of their team works from 9 am to 5 pm, including the CEO and Chairman Chris Seago.

This approach empowers their employees to manage their responsibilities while consistently delivering exceptional results.

 

 

LeanTaaS

LeanTaaS, a startup helping maximize healthcare capacity with AI and prescriptive analytics,  prioritizes the well-being, satisfaction, and productivity of its employees by embracing a “flexibility-first” approach. This empowers employees to work at flexible start and end times tailored to their needs. Employees can choose the schedule and location that works best for them. Options include remaining entirely remote, returning to a physical office setting at either of their locations (Santa Clara, CA and Charlotte, NC), or some combination of both for those who would like it. They seek to create an environment that supports employees with the ongoing goal of being a great place to work. This is a long-term promise from leadership.

AccumTech

AccumTech is an Ann Arbor tech company simplifying the process of data exchange for healthcare service providers. A great company for flexibility, AccumTech has a 9/81 schedule. Employees work nine 9-hour days in a row and are rewarded with every other Friday off — hello 3-day weekend! To make sure everyone is on the same page, they have core hours from 10am to 3:30pm, a time when everyone needs to be available. The team is free to make up the rest of their day whenever and wherever they choose. As for location, AccumTech requires two to three days in the office depending on your role. They have one team day, one all-hands day, and one leadership day. The other days team members are able to work at home or in the office if they choose. They also have an open PTO policy: take a day when you need to recharge! It's all about helping employees thrive inside and outside the office.

RIVET

At RIVET, a SaaS platform for the construction industry, leaders recognize that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a 9-to-5 schedule.

Sun & Water

Sun & Water is a management consulting firm helping companies with their IT and business transformation projects. Flexibility at Sun & Water stems directly from the founders firm belief in work-life balance; it’s become part of the DNA of the company. They understand that someone’s motivation would be negatively impacted if work came before their passions. Their entire business philosophy and team structure helps project managers live their best life, achieving the flexibility and balance they need.

Provide

Provide, the people-first fintech company, empowers team members to build their work day around their lives and workloads. If you want to go to the gym at 10 a.m. or take a break to soak in the sun at 2 p.m., you’re encouraged to do so. Similarly, if your role requires you to be available to customers at 8 p.m., you’re not expected to also be online from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. When employees are working remotely, Provide encourages them to work where they are most productive – whether that’s from their front porch, home office, or their coziest recliner. Additionally with their flexible vacation and sick leave, Provide team members are encouraged to take time off when they need it, for any purpose. And when team members are out of the office, that means completely offline – no checking email or Slack from the beach (or your couch if you’re on a staycation). 

SkySpecs

Based in Ann Arbor, SkySpecs is co-creating the future of renewable energy. The SkySpecs team loves their work, but they also know that vacations and time off are a valuable part of your life. They offer flexible work hours and vacation plans that give you the downtime you need, when you need it. Employees in North America enjoy unlimited PTO so they have the flexibility to the personal and sick time that they need to be at their best. SkySpecs also has offices located in Ann Arbor, Dublin, Athlone, Denmark, Hyderabad, and Amsterdam that are set up for co-working spaces when their employees want or need to see each other face to face. But they are staying true to focusing on being a remote-first company to allow employees to work from wherever they focus best. 

OpenGov

OpenGov is the leader in modern cloud software for U.S. local governments, state agencies, school districts, and special districts. OpenGov has built an award-winning culture filled with mission-oriented employees. Employees at OpenGov love the flexibility the company offers in both working hours and hybrid/remote opportunities.

Its team of technologists and researchers enjoy an innovative culture with flexibility. They offer hybrid/work-from-home options, flex paid holidays, and flexible working hours. 

AdAdapted

Based in Ann Arbor, AdAdapted is a marketing tech startup that helps CPG engage with their audience and get insight into how consumers interact with their ads. The company has a fast-paced culture that is based on working hard, but team members also enjoy quite a bit of flexibility.

RocketReach

RocketReach is one of the largest business info-services platforms and the de-facto productivity solution for sales and recruitment teams at companies of all sizes, worldwide. They have a very distributed team across many cities as well as a big office in NYC where the largest concentration of their employees are located. RocketReach operates with a remote-first mentality and allows people to truly structure their day and schedules to accommodate their lives and families. The company also recently surveyed their team to understand how much they’d prefer to be in the office in NYC and reduced the number of days they expect people to be in. Overall, they believe that flexibility and work-life balance are incredibly important to set the team up for success and productivity. 

Hush

Hush is the always-on, always-learning comprehensive service that makes digital privacy as attainable as an Uber. They recently raised $4 million and, and as they grow, Hush remains committed to hiring great talent in Michigan whenever they can, but most of their employees (whether based in MI or elsewhere) work remotely. The company has a great culture that places the focus on managing outcomes and performance, rather than hours worked. That means they focus on what someone achieves rather than when they do it, which allows employees to balance their personal and work obligations and manage their workload in a way that makes sense for them. 

This isn’t just something the company says. They actually practice it. A Hush team member recently got married and took his honeymoon in Europe. Rather than returning to the US immediately, he stayed in Italy and worked there for a good portion of the summer. They believe that if they hire great people, set clear objectives, give trust and autonomy to get the job done and hire/develop strong leaders, then they don't need to manage when or how someone works. This inherent trust and flexibility is a big part of what makes working at Hush so great. 

Root

Root is the Columbus-based insurtech company helping people get fair rates based on how they drive. At Root, they have a Work Where it Works Best culture. The team has learned that, regardless of location, everyone can still collaborate effectively, push boundaries, and get shit done. So they empower their people through choice—giving them the flexibility to work where they feel their most productive selves. No matter where you decide to take your laptop, Root will meet you there.

Autobooks

Autobooks is a Detroit-based fintech startup helping small businesses access better banking tools. It’s a fast-paced company that still enjoys a lot of flexibility and work-life balance. This past August, Autobooks announced their new Hybrid Workplace Practices. Tying closely with the move to their new downtown Detroit Headquarters, Autobooks’ goal is to utilize their new space to build collaboration and intentional interactions that will support our growth while continuing to provide maximum flexibility to their employees. 

All people leaders at Autobooks are expected to be in the office 3 or more days per week. All non-leader team members are asked to be in office if they are within a 60-mile radius of an office one day per week. To make sure employees have the most flexibility, they are not mandating which day/days – that is up to the individual.

It’s also up to the team leaders to own their team interactions to make the trip to the office meaningful for their teams by holding team meetings, learnings, lunches, and other coordinated events to maximize collaboration and team building. In other words, Autobooks is focused on working from home for “heads down” type of work and using in office time for innovation and collaboration.
