Simplicity is built on relationships

Simplicity has a dynamic, supportive, and upbeat company culture where all teams are accessible and engaged, as well as challenged and inspired to develop and grow.

We believe in trust and accountability, the importance of community, and the transformational power of a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Our guiding principles inspire us to bring our best selves to work, each and every day:

Self starter: We’re proactive, action-oriented, and self-directed servant leaders
Meaningful relationships: We strive to add value to every conversation and use active listening to build trust and integrity
Innovative: Creative problem-solvers at heart, we collaborate to find new solutions and fresh perspectives
Learning: We’re curious lifelong learners who are continuously seeking knowledge and honing our skills
Energy: A positive attitude is contagious: We believe in infusing a little fun into the workplace

"Simplicity works with great clients, they offer ample resources to keep you happy and motivated, woman-founded, and plenty of incentives for hard work."
