Our Core Values
The Empyrean values, known as “The BEs,” guide how we lead, think, and collaborate to achieve our mission. They empower us to build a workplace that’s supportive, inclusive, and energized, enabling us to make a meaningful difference in the millions of lives we touch each day.
BE
CURIOUS
Innovation sparks from creativity, ingenuity, and by challenging the status quo. We challenge our team to ask questions, share their ideas, and be open to new and different points of view. We also empower our people to be fearless in their pursuit of knowledge and progress.
The word curious changes your intent - that you truly want to understand before you try to solve or respond. Being curious means you want to learn and gives you an opportunity to show empathy.
- Jim Priebe, Chief Strategy Officer
BE
ACCOUNTABLE
The work each Empyrean team member does impacts the well-being of every single person served by our platform. Accountability drives us to deliver on our commitments, act with integrity, and do our best – not just for each other, but for everyone who depends on Empyrean.
In a high-performing culture, we take accountability for our actions, identify our mistakes, and rectify them quickly. The key is learning from our errors and continuously improving.
- Kelly Clark, Chief Information Technology Officer
BE
DETERMINED
What we do here is important. We encourage our team to think big, have conviction, and make it happen! Will everyone always get it right? Maybe not, but that’s okay, because we are committed to achieving our goals and overcoming obstacles to get there. And most of all, we’re a team that backs each other up.
Determination is key to understanding client needs and any barriers that might stand in the way of stellar benefits administration services. And knowing the team is here to back us up is empowering!
- Karen Bailey, Compliance Officer
BE
HEARD
Every voice at every volume is valued here at Empyrean. We foster a workplace culture where we listen to understand, collaborate with one another, share our perspectives and feedback, and create a safe place for everyone around us to do the same.
To be heard means we're inclusive and transparent in the way we work together ... we're open-minded and respectful of each other and the experiences and opinions we each bring to the team. It means we recognize and value those differences - including communication styles - and actively work to create an environment where we all feel free to share and be heard.
- Colleen Waymel, Chief Operating Officer
BE
YOURSELF
We value diversity in all its forms, and our team is strongest only when each member of our team brings their whole, authentic self to work each and every day. Our people belong here, and we count on our team members to make sure those around us feel like they belong as well.
We encourage everyone to bring their authentic selves to work because we want and value diversity. That can be diversity of thought, experiences, knowledge, or anything else. If everyone at Empyrean thought the same way and had the same experiences, we wouldn't be able to learn from one another and grow as a company.
- Angel Seufert, EVP Human Resaurces
