October is National Work and Family Month! Since 2003, this month has recognized the need for healthier and more flexible work environments and was created to remind employers of the importance of sponsoring work-life effectiveness initiatives. While the US may celebrate this in October, at Yext, we believe it’s critical to support our workforce with benefits and programs that foster well-being all year round. Our policies are more than just words on a piece of paper. Check out what some of our employees have to say about it: “The level of support Yext provided me was incredible and went far beyond providing parental leave. The importance of family & flexibility is ingrained in the Yext culture.” - Sara Amin. VP, Revenue Operations “Being a great father is the most important thing to me, and it’s amazing to know that I can take the time I need to take care of my family. The past 2 years have been incredibly difficult, & Yext has done a great job providing employees with remote work options, flexible scheduling, & numerous resources.” - Neal Booker, D&I Manager
