Covid-19 recovery

At the beginning of the pandemic, KnowBe4 was able to quickly transfer to remote work while still maintaining our fun and unique company culture. Our Fun and Shenanigans team adjusted all of their fun activities to continue engaging employees while they work remotely.

For example, the fitness classes, which are normally held onsite for the employees, are now being recorded and uploaded to one of KnowBe4’s YouTube channels where all employees can access the classes. Fun company events, such as our monthly trivia competitions, are still happening, but have moved to a virtual platform where everyone can participate safely. We also have a company-wide intranet, which essentially functions as a private social media platform for all of our employees to stay connected. Our Fun and Shenanigans team uses this platform to host fun competitions for employees.

We have also sent out several care packages to our employees around the world, ranging from toilet paper to full sized cakes. Additionally, we have done contactless pick-ups, which allow employees to simply drive up to the building and get care packages handed to them. New team members a starting bonus for any remote employees to help them set up their home offices.

Tackling economic inequality

At KnowBe4, we recognize that people are at the heart of our success. We celebrate the creativity, innovation and increased performance that comes from an inclusive and diverse workspace culture. We believe that our unique culture leads to greater success and gratification due to the diversity that each person brings to their position.

KnowBe4 leverages the broad diversity of its teams’ knowledge and identities to build quality products that reflect the collective experience of our users and surrounding communities. KnowBe4 understands the work needed to support and foster its culture of inclusivity is continuous and relies on our three components of - Building, Educating, Respecting.
Building: Building diverse workforces and the accompanying knowledge bases to support our employees, from training our recruiting staff and infusing culturally appropriate measurements to building and re-evaluating our onboarding materials so they represent our growing, diverse team.
Educating: Education against bias, discrimination, and inequality. This begins with a commitment from our entire executive team to support and listen to the members of our Employee Resource Groups while allowing these groups to help shape and guide KnowBe4’s company culture, policies, and philanthropic efforts.
Respecting: Respecting diversity and all of the intersections of identities that make us who we are. This respect focuses on how we are able to elevate these conversations all year long. The moment we are able to come together and learn through mutual respect enables trust to be built.
