MONAT WHAT MAKES YOUR COMPANY ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK IN DIRECT SELLING?

Being part of the MONAT family means that we are all part NUMBER OF FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES / 420 of something bigger. MONAT leads by example YEAR FOUNDED / 2014 by showing gratitude to all its employees and encouraging them to join us is giving back to our community. Gratitude is the heart of our company. HOW DOES YOUR COMPANY BRING THE SAME REDCARPET TREATMENT TO YOUR EMPLOYEES THAT YOU GIVE TO YOUR DISTRIBUTORS? MONAT rolls out the red carpet for our staff during our two big events, the annual employee picnic and our holiday party. These events have one focus, and that is to celebrate and recognize all the hard work and dedication of MONAT’s staff. At MONAT, we understand that each employee plays a key role in the company’s success, and without them, this would not be possible. During these events, we take advantage of the opportunity that the family is all together to recognize our top performers with special awards, and our tenured employees, those who have been in the company for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years, are recognized and receive a service award. Due to the pandemic, our events looked a little different. Our annual picnic became a picnic basket giveaway where we encouraged our employees to spend some picnic time with their family and friends, and our holiday party was celebrated at the different sites with live music and festive lunches.

What I love most about working at MONAT is that it does not feel like a job! I feel like I am working with family. I wake up every day so happy to go to work because I enjoy helping those in need. I love seeing what our efforts do to make a difference in this world and the happiness it brings to people. Bringing a smile to someone’s face every day is what makes me full of life and love, which is what I am part of in this company. I am eternally grateful to be part of something big, and I am so excited for what our future holds. Live with gratitude!

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT HELPED YOUR COMPANY PIVOT AND SHOW RESILIENCE IN 2020? 2020 was a challenging year for all of us. In order to keep our employees informed, we instantly established Work From Home Guidelines to all employees, setting the expectations of what the virtual working environment would see. Our Tip of the Week was born during the pandemic, in efforts to support our employees in the transition, and give them tips on how to stay connected and engaged in the new virtual environment. We stayed close to our employees with pulse surveys and checked in with our leaders frequently. We adapted our policies to the needs of our employees and our leaders in the new environment we faced during the pandemic. Also, we closely monitored the guidelines from the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) and WHO (World Health Organization) during these uncertain times relating to COVID-19.
