Snapshot of Optimal Workshop
Optimal Workshop is a user research platform that provides actionable insights to help people create better experiences for their customers.
The market opportunity ahead for Optimal Workshop
Although Optimal Workshop has mostly focused on targeting traditional information architecture (IA) and user experience (UX) roles, we are working to extend our impact across a broad range of roles including content, marketing, and product audiences.
We will also be launching some exciting new features to help customers better understand our tools and make the most of them. Ultimately, our goal is to continue widening our reach, and improving our tools to create a greater impact in the space.
Why Optimal Workshop is a great place to work
What makes Optimal Workshop’s culture unique is that the company truly lives up to its values and puts people at the heart of everything it does. Optimal Workshop lives up to its mission of creating better experiences for all by elevating both customer and employee experiences. By offering flexible working hours, access to a fun and cozy office, team lunches, a learning and development fund, and a wellbeing fund, and many more benefits Optimal Workshop goes above and beyond to support employee wellbeing, productivity, and prosperity.
Furthermore, Optimal Workshop creates opportunities for team members to socialise with Friday wrap. Friday wrap is a time where the whole company gets together for a low-key gathering to wind up the week, share, and learn. Oftentimes team members share a demo of some work they’ve completed, learnings from a course or a workshop, or a relevant cultural experience or practice.
Teams also have meetups where they get together to plan for the quarter and engage in fun activities. This year the marketing team went axe-throwing and the data squad went mini-golfing. Optimal Workshop values gratitude and recognises hard work with a #gratitude channel where anyone can post a shout-out to celebrate team members. Recently, we also celebrated Pink Shirt day with a lot of pink shirts and pink kai.
