Snapshot of Joyous

The mission at Joyous is to make life better for people at work.

The market opportunity ahead for Joyous

With the goal of making life better for people at work in mind, we focus on large enterprises. This means we can help improve the lives of a large number of people.

We've started out by targeting a few key industries in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. As we continue to grow we will focus more broadly within those regions, as well as expand to other geographies.

In the developed world, there are over 290 million people who work in organisations of over 2,500 staff – our aim is to help improve the lives of as many of those people as possible.

Why Joyous is a great place to work

We are purpose-driven:
Joyous exists because of a desire to make the world better. Everything we do contributes to making the world a little better through our product, work with customers and publications.

We have an innovative approach to work:
We have developed our own unique way of working called Joyfully. Joyfully has helped our teams create a streamlined organisational structure, form a product strategy, and deliver meaningful chunks of work. Joyfully provides a thought-provoking alternative to Agile Scrum, Shape Up and other methodologies.

We have combined customer care, sales and marketing into one group, called Unified Customer. Customer overlaps with Product, which in turn overlaps with Engineering.

We have Joyful benefits:

  • Health Insurance & Counselling –Personal health insurance and access to free counselling to help you stay happy and healthy.
  • Joy Days –Six extra long weekends each year in March, May, July, August, September, and November. You get more paid time off to do the things that bring you joy.
  • The Joyous Parental Journey –A revolutionary parental journey benefit created by parents for parents.
  • JoyStock – Stock Options– Every employee is eligible for stock options when they start working as a permanent, full-time employee.
  • Joyous Home Office –Joyous will cover the cost of a comfortable home office for you. Every team member has the choice to work from home on Mondays & Tuesdays.
  • Merch– We have a merch store, and everyone at Joyous gets free & discounted merch!
  • Joyous experiences – Shared leadership, No silos, Regular showcases, Friday feeds, Joy trips, Donut app, Collaboration ...and your own custom Joyous animal avatar.

Values

  • We grow ​together​

    We’re not defined by our job titles. We explore, invent and innovate across the business. We’re safe to experiment, work together wherever we can, and use feedback to help us grow.

  • We make an impact

    Our work has purpose, and we’re trusted to do it the way we know is best. We’re deliberate about doing what’s most impactful, and we focus on delivering quality quickly.

  • We bring the joyous​

    We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We check our egos at the door and make Joyous a happy, fun, and positive place to work. We find joy in creating surprise, delight and magic where we can. And we spread the joyous wherever we go.

  • We love awesome humans

    We care for each other, and treat everyone with love, empathy and respect. We trust each other, find joy in our differences and value our unique perspectives. We’re not perfect; we’re always improving.
