The challenge
Facing the need to create a unified identity through equitable benefits, Upstart13 reached out to Atlas to ensure all their remote team members worldwide received the same benefits as their on-site employees (like health insurance), along with personalized benefits aligned with individual lifestyles. They also wanted a seamless way to recognize and reward their global talent.
The solution
Upstart13 partnered with Atlas to provide all remote team members with personalized benefits and comprehensive health insurance. They also leveraged the Atlas platform to give and send recognition and rewards, including prizes for team-building activities, through Atlas points. "This wouldn't be possible with other platforms or structures," said Gonzalo Mendez Filleul, Head of Talent Management at Upstart13.
"Team members can redeem Atlas points for the benefits they actually want. This kind of flexibility just isn't available with other platforms."
