This is KnowBe4's Department of Fun And Shenanigans - often called the Shenanigans team. They are the driving force behind KnowBe4's amazing company culture, handling everything from our comfort cabinets to our holiday party. They do so much we could never cover it all, but here is a little behind the scenes look this incredible team!
KnowBe4's LGBTQ+ group is an internal group of LGBTQ+ employees from every department who work together with the People Operations department to create more awareness for diversity in the workplace. The group's goal is to use their voices to help the LGBTQ+ community at KnowBe4 and throughout the Tampa Bay Area. Their latest project was a huge supply drop of essential items for EPIC Empath Partners in Care to add to their food/supply pantry. The group is also working on a pride fundraiser with Metro Wellness, a local LGBTQ+ clinic, and several events and projects revolving around using art to bring attention to the wealth of LGBTQ+ employees and talent in the local area. Of course, our awesome group also takes the lead on planning KnowBe4's participation in St. Petersburg's local Pride parade!
KnowBe4 has officially started the process of returning to the office. Of course, the health and safety of our employees is our number one priority so the return to working from the office will be slow, careful, and entirely voluntary, while still fun!
KnowBe4's 2020 summer internship program has officially started! Of course the safety of our interns is our top priority, so they will be starting their internships virtually - onboarding, training, and working remotely. Don't worry though, we still have plenty of fun activities planned for this year's interns to make sure they get the same amazing experience that last year's interns received. Kelly, KnowBe4's Internship Program Director, stated that "our focus is on creating a virtual experience that is just as rewarding, fun, and challenging as an in-person experience would be.”
The Knowsters have been working remotely for nearly two months now as the world continues to deal with COVID-19. So, how has everyone handled this situation? Here are what the Knowsters have to say.
Our employees around the globe have been working from home for weeks while the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Here is what our international offices have been doing to look out for the morale, mental health, and physical health of all the Knowsters around the world!
KnowBe4 has always had a fun and unique onboarding process, and we still do! We've just made some changes to the onboarding process to adjust for the circumstances we find ourselves in today with the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing. For now, our entire onboarding experience has gone digital, along with the rest of the hiring and training process.
We all stay inside to "flatten the curve", but walks outside require some new safety precautions! New research by european (Dutch) scientists (and we know that has to be good... :-D) The research studied the impacts of current social distancing mandates when applied to outdoor exercise. What they found was that staying six feet apart might not do you any good when it comes to running, walking, or biking outside.
