What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Openly?

Openly’s remote-first approach was designed in part to give employees more flexibility to balance work with the people and responsibilities that matter to them. By hiring regardless of location and remaining fully remote, the company supports employees in integrating their careers with family life in the way that works for them.

“When our founders set out to build a great company, their goal was to hire the best people, no matter where they lived. They wanted to make sure employees would have a nice balance to work and family. Regardless of how you define your family, if they’re important to you, that’s what matters. That mindset is a big part of why Openly started as a 100 percent remote company and has remained that way.”

Openly’s remote environment gives employees autonomy over how they manage their work and time. That combination of trust and flexibility can make it easier to balance professional responsibilities with life outside of work while supporting sustained engagement over time.

“One of the key factors in a remote workplace like ours that I appreciate most is trust and flexibility. Team members are treated as professionals who know how to manage their own work and time. That autonomy creates space for real work-life harmony, which keeps people engaged and motivated over the long run.”

Openly supports employee well-being with both dedicated time away from work and flexible resources employees can use based on their individual needs. Well-being days, the Be Well reimbursement program and ongoing conversations about burnout and mental health help remote employees recharge while reinforcing a culture where taking care of personal well-being is supported.

“At Openly, implementing our Be Well program and incorporating regular well-being days throughout the year has significantly strengthened connection within our remote culture. We’ve intentionally prioritized mental health and personal balance and created space for employees to step away from work without guilt and return feeling supported and refreshed.

This reimbursement program and dedicated days off, combined with open conversations about wellness and burnout, have fostered a culture of empathy and psychological safety. Openly also includes flexible resources and activities that meet employees where they are — whether that’s through mindfulness sessions, virtual wellness challenges or care packages. Over time, these consistent, shared experiences have helped build a sense of community and trust, reinforcing that even in a virtual environment, people’s well-being is truly valued and cared for.”
