- Strategy Sparked by Employee Feedback and Year of Impressive Industry Growth
VelocityEHS, the global leader in cloud-based environmental, health, safety (EHS) and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) software, announced “Work for All”, a remote-first work plan focused on helping its people balance productivity with reduced stress and commute-free employment. The new program reflects the shift in employee needs and responsibilities post-pandemic, as well as the needs of the company’s growing global community.
By extending its work-from-home directive, current and prospective VelocityEHS employees now have the option to work in the office, remote or a hybrid format of their choice. This model provides a myriad of benefits, including the ability of employees to balance personal and professional responsibilities, while completing their work from the place they feel most comfortable and productive. The VelocityEHS Work for All plan meets the needs of the evolving workforce by transforming how employees structure work around their lives. It also offers increased flexibility and additional resources, like technology and stipends, to assist team members in building more efficient home office set-ups. The remote-first work plan also widens the talent market, enabling the company to recruit from anywhere and partner with diverse talent.

“As VelocityEHS revolutionizes how our customers are meeting complex regulatory compliance requirements and keeping their workplaces safe, we are also seizing the opportunity to reimagine how our own employees work,” said John Damgaard, CEO of VelocityEHS. “With an increased industry focus on ESG, expectations are changing for employees and the marketplace, and as a result we need to redefine productivity much more broadly. Innovation occurs when those involved are working most optimally. Our Work for All program delivers a more inclusive, flexible, supportive and efficient way of working that enables our people to be their most successful.”
As part of its Work for All initiative, VelocityEHS will also focus on transforming its physical office spaces to be more communal and collaborative.
