about the experience
The Workpants experience is special, it is tailored to the individual and is exciting and empowering by design. Picture this: the individual is on a road trip. They drive the car. They pick the destination. We bring the maps, the mix tape and the dietary-friendly snacks.
​
We'll never tell folks what they should do.
​
We'll always create a safe space to chat about careers and how they overlap with our bigger lives.
​
We're delivering a win-win, where employees and workplaces both benefit from the career growth and support we provide.
try us on first
Our pilot program is like UX testing for employee benefits - try us on to see if we fit.
We'll work you to tailor an experience experiment that meets your needs. We'll give 6-10 employees in various stages of the parental leave journey the Workpants experience, measure the impact with you and gather feedback. You'll get a report at the end. It's a low-cost way to see if we're right for you.
"The simple and easy exercise of putting my thoughts together and thinking about career possibilities made me feel excited again."
