WW is a global wellness technology company that is inspiring millions of people to adopt sustainable, healthy habits that they’ll actually hold onto for life.

With nearly six decades of experience and expertise in behavioral science, WW delivers holistic wellness to the communities it builds — and its employees are the heart of those communities.

The company makes sure that they practice what they preach by implementing programs that also empower employees — and inspire them by connecting employees with WW members.

“WW hosts global town hall meetings and, in these meetings, employees have the opportunity to hear from inspiring WW members who share their incredible stories and life-changing journeys with WW. Sharing these special moments with our members gives our employees the opportunity to celebrate them and is a reminder of how meaningful being a part of WW truly is and the impact it has on millions of lives.” Keep reading to learn more about the company's initiatives for supporting member and employee wellness, their competitive benefits, and more!

WW has always placed people and wellness at the center of our company. And, this year, we learned that flexibility is the key to creating a work environment that supports each employees’ wellness. Work from Wherever (#WfW), WW’s new global work philosophy, empowers our employees to shape when, where, and how they work to achieve the best possible results. 

• Human-centric design: We embrace the future of work as human-centric; employee wellbeing is the pillar we design work around, not the office or a location.

• Employee-driven flexibility: We empower our employees to craft flexible work schedules of where, when, and how they work best.

• Remote-friendly policy: We support our employees to Work from Wherever, whether that's fully remote, in-person, a mix of both, or somewhere else. We do not prefer one over the other.

• Clubhouse office environment: We are reimagining our offices with a Clubhouse mindset: a cultural hub designed for innovation, collaboration, and connection.

• Evolve Continuously: We commit to embracing change as the norm and will experiment, iterate, and build together as we design the future of Work from Wherever.

• Follow the science: We meet or exceed the health and safety regulations set by public health experts to keep our employees safe. We trust that every employee will do their part to keep their coworkers and loved ones safe.
