Transformational work takes high performance. We believe Strivers perform better when they are fully charged, so we provide flexibility to support your inner well-being.

Well-Being Days
Annual Strive-wide well-being days off provide Strivers the opportunity to focus solely on their well-being.

Paid Holidays
Annual Strive-wide holidays allow all Strivers to disconnect together to reflect and celebrate.

Paid Leave
Our 12 weeks of paid birth giving leave and four weeks of paid bonding leave start day one. We provide a four-week paid sabbatical after five years to return recharged. In alignment to our mission, we offer a paid living donor leave if any Strivers choose to become a living donor.
