San Diego Magazine: What Women Want? Perks and Flexibility
Women in business–a powerful force shaping our companies. Let’s talk about what women want in the workplace.
San Diego is experiencing rapid growth and development of its business culture. These companies are doing it best with work-from-home days, elder care, on-site gyms, sabbaticals, pet insurance, and more perks you never knew existed.
AristaMD was featured as a top company for women by Archana Ram, of San Diego Magazine, in their August 2018 issue.
Women in business at AristaMD
“The La Jolla healthcare technology company makes patient care more flexible with e-consultations, and they’re all about flexibility for their employees, too. Full-timers get unlimited vacation days and can work from home and/or use flex hours as needed (some employees get to work at 7 a.m. so they can leave in the early afternoon to pick up their kids), and most of the office works from home on Fridays. On-site perks include a gym with a trainer-led boot camp twice a week, weekly free lunches, and a fridge stocked with La Croix sparkling water.”
