[JK] My name is Jane Kim and I’m the HR Manager at Financeit. My favorite would have to be the halibut burrito from Burrito Boyz here in Toronto.

What’s great about working at Financeit?
[JK] It really is such an inspiring, fun, and challenging environment to be in! What makes Financeit so rare and wonderful is the high level of transparency our CEO, Michael Garrity, shares with the entire team in our bi-weekly town hall meetings. The team also enjoys our weekly yoga breaks, healthy snacks, and team lunches to keep us happy and healthy; a softball team that is still chasing a championship; and a tight knit community where creative, interesting, and fun minds have really made a community.
Plus, we have a ping pong table :)
Please share some insight into Financeit’s approach to employee and workplace operations. How has Kin played a role?
[JK] We believe in an open and honest environment where everyone can share in the wins and losses. We do operate like a team here, with every single member helping where they can, pushing each other to bring their best, and are all aware of the direction we’re headed in and what goals we are trying to achieve. Aside from Kin, we use other tools to help enhance effectiveness and productivity, like JIRA and Slack (also to help strengthen community!).
“Kin helped streamline our vacation tracking process and how we collect employee data. We’re looking forward to the new performance management tool too!”
