ePayPolicy Inclusion & Diversity

At ePayPolicy, ensuring an inclusive and fair hiring process begins long before a candidate sits down for an interview. We approach recruiting with a strict commitment to Trust & Transparency, which means we intentionally build objective, structured interview pathways for every single role. Rather than relying on subjective "gut feelings", our hiring managers are encouraged to utilize standardized evaluation rubrics that focus on a candidate's core technical competencies, unique problem-solving capabilities, and alignment with our collaborative culture.

By treating every applicant with a No Ego, Amigo mindset, we dismantle systemic biases and ensure that the evaluation process remains entirely consistent, respectful, and focused on what truly matters: an individual's potential to thrive as an industry expert.

Our dedication to fairness isn't just a recruiting philosophy—it is fundamentally integrated into our broader operational metrics and organizational structure:

• Documented Equal Pay Policy: We utilize a firmly established, documented equal pay framework to ensure that compensation packages are calculated equitably based on role, market standards, and experience right from the initial offer stage.
• A Narrowed Gender Pay Gap: Thanks to these rigorous internal standards, ePayPolicy successfully maintains a mean gender pay gap that sits comfortably below the 10% threshold, vastly outperforming broader tech industry averages.
• Diversified Candidate Pipelines: Our talent acquisition team actively refines our sourcing strategies to proactively engage with diverse talent pools, ensuring a balanced and representative slate of candidates for our expanding departments.

Operating with a natural Need for Speed means our organization expands rapidly to support our thousands of insurance clients. When our leadership team recognized that scaling quickly could create variances in how different departments conducted interviews, we moved fast to standardize the candidate journey.

We introduced specialized training for all internal interviewers and centralized our hiring operations. This proactive calibration has eliminated ambiguity from the hiring cycle, giving candidates complete confidence that they are entering a fair, transparent environment built to evaluate them purely on their talent and determination.

Belonging at ePayPolicy isn't dictated by rigid corporate programming; it is a natural byproduct of a flat, transparent environment where people are genuinely encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work. We build psychological safety into our daily rhythm by eliminating corporate posturing. Everyone from our executive team to our newest hires treats each other with mutual respect and an open mind.

We celebrate individualism and provide organic avenues for connection that transcend traditional departmental silos. Whether team members are giving back together through our quarterly #ePayItForward volunteer initiatives, competing on our championship indoor soccer team, or bonding over shared interests in our employee-led rock climbing, our culture emphasizes that every person is a valued part of the team.

We believe that a truly inclusive workplace must back up its culture with transparent metrics and external benchmarks. Our commitment to fostering a diverse environment where everyone can thrive is reflected in our data:

• Top 30% National Diversity Score: On Comparably, diverse employees rate ePayPolicy an 86/100 across core culture dimensions, placing our organization in the top tier of similar-sized technology companies nationwide.
• National Recognition for Equity: Our anonymous employee sentiment has earned ePayPolicy consecutive national accolades from Comparably for Best Company for Diversity and Best Company for Women.
• Operationalizing Fair Pay: True equity is built into our operational foundation. We maintain a strictly documented equal pay policy and actively track our metrics to keep our mean gender pay gap well below a 10% threshold, significantly outperforming the broader tech sector.
• Five Years as a Top Employer: This collective sense of community has fueled our consecutive placements on Built In Austin’s Best Places to Work list, a ranking that heavily evaluates a company's cultural health and inclusive benefits.

As our organization scales rapidly to support thousands of insurance clients, maintaining a deep sense of localized belonging requires conscious, iterative effort. To ensure no voice gets lost in the crowd during high-growth periods, leadership relies heavily on completely anonymous, quarterly engagement surveys to pulse-check the company's cultural health.

In the insurance technology sector, solving deeply rooted, legacy industry friction requires creative problem-solving. We know that we cannot build cutting-edge payment solutions for a massive, diverse network of over 11,000 insurance clients by relying on a monolith of thought. For us, diversity is a core driver of our innovation and our ability to act as Industry Aces.

True equity means recognizing that our team members have different lives, responsibilities, and obligations outside of their working hours. We don't believe an inclusive culture can survive under rigid, one-size-fits-all corporate mandates. To ensure our high-growth environment is sustainable for everyone—including working parents, family caregivers, and individuals pursuing continuous education—we build our operations around autonomy:

• Asynchronous-Friendly Hybrid Model: Our team members have the power to structure their work weeks in a way that respects their personal productivity and lifestyle needs.
• Empowering Caregiver & Family Support: We back our team with robust, family-first health benefits and wellness support, recognizing that mental and domestic well-being are fundamental to professional success.
• Trust-Based Flexible PTO: We provide the freedom to take time off to rest, recharge, or observe personal and cultural holidays without bureaucratic tracking, relying entirely on a foundation of mutual trust.

We have all seen corporate diversity statements that amount to little more than a badge on a website. At ePayPolicy, our approach is defined by Trust & Transparency. We don't view diversity, equity, and inclusion as a static project or an annual checklist; we view it as a continuous operational standard.
