For Kasey Carter, Esper’s senior manager of people, the clearest embodiment of the company phrase “see a need, meet a need,” was when CEO Yadhu Gopalan helped carry desks during an office move. Culture building is critical for Esper’s teams, and underpinning events like pancake breakfasts and Mario Kart tournaments is the chance to grow. She recalls having more opportunities in nine months than she had in longer tenures at other companies. Whether through stretch projects, mentorship or shadowing, the leadership at Esper knows employee engagement correlates with the quality of the work.
