Marketing agency, Intuitive Digital, has been listed on Oregon’s top 10 healthiest employers for six years. This year, the Portland Business Journal has ranked them at number nine. Intuitive Digital has also been rated as one of the best companies in Oregon to work for on three separate occasions.
Intuitive Digital specializes in SEO, paid media, and web and design development. Nick Footer founded the company because he believed digital marketing shouldn’t comprise personal morals and ethics. It has been over ten years since Intuitive was founded and their method to success has distinguished them from competitors.
Intuitive Digital views its employees holistically. They support their struggles at work and home because they understand that work is only a portion of their lives. Therefore, they do everything to cultivate a diverse and inclusive environment.
VP of Marketing and Culture, Alysha Schultz says, “Being a healthy employer is about supporting our employees so they feel their best. Whether stressed or sick, Intuitive Digital enables them to do their best in every capacity of their life.”
Weekly meetings that include meditations, yoga, or courses on achieving financial wellness are also part of the picture when you’re an Intuitive Digital employee.
Management arranges frequent discussions surrounding relevant events and topics that concern employee wellbeing. During Mental Health Month, the team spoke authentically about ways to avoid burnout and the struggles neurodivergent employees may face. For these reasons, Intuitive Digital has a retention rate of 88.9%, 27% higher than the national average.
Intuitive Digital has established an internal committee to create a truly inclusive work community. They organize educational workshops, offer scholarships for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ college students, and donate to several local and national nonprofits. The entire team also engages in volunteer activities such as house building and cleaning public parks.
Since Intuitive is a values-based organization, its partners must align with their principles. Before initiating any project with a client, the company conducts brand assessments to understand whether the fit is right. Intuitive presents these findings to potential partners as an opportunity to explain how the company could improve. This has become a significant aspect of the company’s procedures since it changed its purpose statement. Originally, Intuitive Digital wanted to cultivate happiness. However, they eventually realized that inspiring change is essential for achieving that goal.
Intuitive Digital is proud of its achievements. However, they are continuously striving to improve. For example, they have ongoing initiatives to strengthen DEIB programs. In 2019, they hired an external consultant to help eliminate unconscious bias in recruiting and interviewing practices. Since then, Intuitive has cataloged its activities for educating staff and ensuring diverse talent feels equally supported.
Intuitive Digital has struck a balance between profitability and ethical practices. While there is room for improvement, Intuitive is excited to stimulate change within every community they touch and build a more inclusive industry.
