We also invest in a comprehensive set of employee benefits, including but not limited to:
Unlimited Leave: Your allocated holiday time at Vero will be unlimited. We trust our people to use good judgment when given guidelines for making decisions about taking a holiday, and we know that our teams work better when they can rest and take a proper break from work. Our goal is that every team takes an average of 15 days (minimum!) per person a year.
Annual Bonus: An enhanced 13th month through which you will receive an annual extra sum of money equal to your salary in the preceding month plus a fraction of annual company benefits. The year-end bonus is determined by the Company and at its sole discretion. The Year-end Bonus is paid in the same paycheck in January.
Flexible Office: All our employees can choose where they want to work on any given day, should it be from the office, from home, from a coffee shop, or from a yacht in the Pacific Ocean.
Home office budget: One company laptop, subscriptions to relevant industry media, a budget for you to enhance your home office, as well as to social sentiment analysis and business intelligence tools and dashboards.
Working days: from Monday to Friday
International Travel: As much as possible, we push our teams to travel for events/client work. On any given year (non-pandemic, that is), manager-level team members have the opportunity to visit some of our other offices, attend industry events, and follow their clients if they handle regional projects.
Wellness Day off: 1 paid day per quarter for you to take time off, unplug, and treat yourself to something nice.
Thought Leadership and training: We sponsor team members with training tools and resources, both internal and external, and we even incentivize employees to complete classes. Details of training programs and incentives will be shared upon your onboarding. This includes training and development investments organized by the company as well as specialized programs that our executives may come across and feel is needed for their development. For example, this could be a program organized by a group such as PR WEEK, PRCA or a training program that focuses on business in general. Across the Vero group, we are seeking new and better ways to help people develop careers.
