Creating a joyful, healthy and supportive workplace.

Workplace

Happy and fulfilled employees are the backbone of our company

We believe that a great workforce is also the result of a good environment. The result of making sure people have a space where they can learn, both professionally and personally; where they feel at ease to be themselves and speak up; and to work, not only for a paycheck, but because they are truly part of something greater.

For us, this means working everyday towards building a culture guided by autonomy, mastery and purpose. One that considers its team members as human beings who need balance, rest and diversion in order to contribute their absolute best.

My favorite thing about Beckett Simonon is that you have the co-founders' trust to make your own decisions, to improve different procedures. I also love that it does not matter what department you belong to, we all support each other when we need it.

Using materials that reduce or reverse our environmental impact.

Even though it's difficult to find materials with zero environmental impact, we make it a priority to use ethically-produced materials processed with minimal toxins, repurposed from waste, or made with natural fibers. In our efforts to identify the most environmentally sound materials possible, we are constantly researching and testing new options.
