Fora
What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Fora?
Frequently Asked Questions
Most HQ roles follow a hybrid model—engineering, for example, currently spends three days a week in the office—with flexibility on remaining days and some roles fully remote depending on function. That in-person time is intentional: employees have found it helps with the kind of spontaneous problem-solving and relationship-building that's harder to replicate remotely, while day-to-day flexibility stays real.
All employees get an unlimited PTO policy plus three dedicated weeks a year to work from anywhere, generous parental and family leave, and flexible scheduling around personal needs.
Mental health support is built into Fora's core benefits: our health plan includes no-cost access to Headspace, our Wellhub subscription bundles mental wellbeing apps alongside fitness and nutrition tools, and every employee has access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential support.
We back that up with unlimited PTO and three dedicated work-from-anywhere weeks a year to make real time off possible, a dedicated wellness room at HQ, and a quarterly engagement survey that People Ops uses to catch workload and burnout concerns early and act on them with department heads directly.
Finally, we put together yoga classes, boxing classes and other wellness classes for employees to connect and unwind.
