Building a People-Centered Company Culture

At Momentum Ventures, our company culture is rooted in the values of being hungry, humble, and honest. These principles guide our internal operations and shape how we interact with our clients and the broader community. As a tech company, we understand the importance of leveraging technology to enhance our services. However, we never lose sight of the human element that drives our success.

Being hungry means we continuously seek improvement and growth. We encourage our team members to take initiative, embrace challenges, and pursue new opportunities for learning and development. This drive for excellence propels us forward and keeps us at the cutting edge of technology in our industry. Our commitment to being humble fosters an environment where collaboration and teamwork thrive. We value every contribution, recognizing that each employee plays a crucial role in our collective success. Lastly, being honest ensures transparency in all our interactions, fostering trust among the team and with our clients.

Embracing Potential and Collaboration

Our recruitment process reflects our goal to build a supportive team culture. We focus on identifying potential rather than just experience, seeking candidates who align with our values and can thrive in a collaborative work environment. The recruitment journey emphasizes the importance of embracing challenges, as we believe that the ability to adapt and grow is essential in today’s dynamic landscape.

During the recruitment process, we prioritize open communication, ensuring candidates feel comfortable and valued from their first interaction with us. We look for individuals who demonstrate a willingness to learn and a passion for contributing to our collective success. By fostering a welcoming atmosphere, we aim to attract diverse talent that enriches our company culture and aligns with our mission.

Comprehensive Benefits

In alignment with our people-centered approach, we offer a comprehensive array of benefits that prioritize the well-being of our employees. Our goal is to create an environment where our team members can thrive both personally and professionally. Among the various advantages we provide, we focus on promoting physical, mental, and financial wellness.

Employees benefit from travel discounts that allow them to explore new destinations while utilizing our services. To encourage a healthy lifestyle, we offer gym membership subsidies, which support physical fitness. Financial well-being is also a priority, and we offer Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) plans that include contribution matching. Additionally, we provide funding for ongoing education and training programs to promote professional development. This investment in our employees helps them enhance their skills and grow within the organization.

Sustainability is also a key focus in our benefits package. We offer monthly subsidies for electric vehicles and public transit passes to encourage eco-friendly transportation options, reflecting our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

Moreover, we emphasize the importance of community engagement through our donations and sponsorship program. Employees can propose causes they are passionate about each month, followed by a voting process to determine which organizations to support. This initiative fosters a connection with the community and allows team members to engage in causes that resonate with us.

Fostering Team Spirit

Building strong relationships among team members is crucial for maintaining a positive work environment. Throughout the year, we organize various internal events and activities designed to keep our teams close, boost morale, and recognize our everyones’ efforts. From our festive Christmas party and lively summer barbecue to birthday lunches, bowling outings, and fitness challenges, these events create opportunities for camaraderie and celebration.

These activities not only enhance team spirit but also serve as a platform for acknowledging individual contributions and celebrating achievements. By fostering a sense of community, we cultivate an environment where everyone feels appreciated and motivated to excel.

At Momentum Ventures, our company culture is foundational to our identity as an organization. By embodying the values of being hungry, humble, and honest, we create a workplace that fosters growth, collaboration, and trust. Our comprehensive benefits and commitment to employee well-being further demonstrate our goal of ensuring that our team members thrive. As we continue to evolve as a tech company, we remain steadfast in our goal to maintain the human touch that makes Momentum Ventures a great place to work.

This dedication to our team is reflected in our recent recognition at the Canadian HR Awards 2024, where we were honored in multiple categories. Being named an Excellence Awardee for Financial, Physical & Mental Wellness showcases our focus on providing the support necessary for our employees to lead healthy, fulfilling lives, both personally and professionally.

Furthermore, the recognition of Bianca Cuffaro, our Human Resources Business Partner, as an Excellence Awardee for Woman of Distinction highlights the impact of her leadership in shaping our culture.

Our subsidiary, Flygreen, has also been recognized as an Excellence Awardee for Best Workplace Culture, reinforcing our commitment to creating environments where employees feel valued, supported, and motivated to succeed.

Together, these achievements reflect our aim to build a workplace where innovation thrives, people feel supported, and our values shine through every aspect of our organization
