Granicus Careers, Benefits, Review

At Granicus, we acknowledge, value, and respect the differences among us. We embrace, support, and celebrate our employees' differences in race, skin color, ethnicity, age, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability, language, nationality, national origin, family or marital status, socioeconomic class, political affiliation, military service, and other unique characteristics. Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) policy establishes the principles and requirements by which Granicus will enhance DE&I throughout the organization. The policy applies to all Granicus affiliates, which include employees, contractors, and anyone else who performs work on behalf of Granicus. 

Our Commitment 
At Granicus, our mission is to connect governments to the people they serve using modern technology. This truly starts from the inside, with our own employees. Granicus is committed to cultivating and preserving a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment for all employees. We value and rely on the differences that Granicans bring to the table and their unique ability to bring the diversity of thought and perspectives that drive the company’s success. 

Our diversity initiatives are applicable — but not limited — to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, professional development and training, promotions, transfers, social and recreational programs, and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of equity. As an ongoing effort, Granicus will: 

Recruit diverse talent. Granicus should be as diverse as our customers and their residents. Granicus will be intentional about recruiting diverse talent. We will diversify talent pools and candidate outreach channels to attract candidates of various backgrounds and experiences. 

Create a sense of belonging. We want all employees to feel as though they have a place here at Granicus. We want to create and maintain an environment where employees can be at work as their authentic selves and feel that they are valued and respected for who they are, without judgement. 

Grow and succeed. Our internal processes must be equitable to give all employees equal access to opportunities. Equal access should result in diversity at all levels of the organization. Granicus will create and sustain an environment where all employees have equal access to opportunities based on merit and performance, uninhibited by identity or characteristics. Our processes and policies should reflect our intentionality to create a welcoming environment for all and diversity should be reflected in all levels of the organization as a consequence.

Granicus empowers stronger relationships between government and residents across the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. By simplifying interactions with residents — while disseminating critical information — Granicus brings governments closer to the people they serve. 

Supporting our employees is a priority. We offer flexible time off and the freedom to work from home or in the office. We also provide what we call wellbeing days, which are scheduled each month to increase creativity, productivity, and balance. Free membership to Headspace and Ginger is also available for all employees, among many other compelling benefits.

We know government hasn't always had the best reputation for efficiency... or user friendliness. Because government can be complicated. It annoys government workers too. But here's the thing: When you work in government, even the smallest changes or improvements to how residents experience their government can make a huge difference. 

So how can governments change the way their agencies interact with the public? 

"Traditionally, technologies and applications have been designed and built in silos, so it's no wonder consumer and resident experiences have been equally disconnected. We flipped that model on its head and we decided to put the residents and the citizen first." — Mark Hynes, CEO
