Own Company reviews

I would like to address some of the concerns you raised in your review of OwnBackup. My goal is not to convince you to change your mind, but help you understand what we do to create a safe environment for our employees. First, we do not tolerate excessive use of alcohol, as is outlined in our Code of Conduct. We take corrective action if our policy is broken. Safety of our employees is, and will always be, our number one priority. While we do offer alcohol at many of our events, we always provide shuttle services as well as a corporate Uber account should someone need a ride. During the height of the pandemic we encouraged employees to work from wherever they felt comfortable. If you felt any pressure at all to be in the office, that was not intended. Once vaccines did become available, we partnered with a nearby hospital to help team members easily get the vaccine if they wanted it. As we slowly reopened, we took many precautions, such as weekly free covid-testing, temperature checks, provided ample personal protective equipment, and enhanced cleaning. If employees feel uncomfortable for any reason, we highly encourage them to speak directly with their manager or HR. We also offer an anonymous hotline through our benefits provider to report misconduct. Finally, as one of our company benefits, we rolled out unlimited paid time off, globally. This benefit is meant to empower employees to take time off when they need it. We even send reminders to employees to take advantage of this benefit. As you know from your time at OwnBackup, one of our values is “culture is as important as results”. We seek to balance strong business results with creating a fun and collaborative atmosphere. As we continue to grow we will remain focused on delivering results and creating an inclusive and positive environment. -Charles Johnston, EVP, Sales
