Employee Engagement
Engaged employees feel valued and inspired to do their best work. That’s why we provide ways for our employees to use their voices, explore new angles, and stay connected. We are always learning and continue to look for ways to engage employees.
This includes communicating our efforts and letting employees know about the resources that are available. We communicate this information in formats such as companywide monthly newsletters and Town Halls with our CEO and Executive Team.
We continue to ask for feedback, which we take very seriously. This helps managers know exactly what to focus on to deliver a better employee experience. In our 2023 Pulse Survey, we had a 77% response rate, which is two percentage points higher than the industry benchmark we compare against.
We also know our employees work hard, so we like to add some fun. Shutterfly sponsors Family Photo Days for family portraits, as well as small, team-driven networking and social events, such as onsite lunches for our manufacturing teams and Together Tuesdays at our office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. One highlight is an annual cornhole competition in Tempe, now in its fourth year. In 2023, 72 teams signed up for the playful competition.
Employee Development and Well-Being
When our employees are moving fearlessly, seizing new opportunities and tackling challenges, we all win. That’s why we offer a variety of development and mentorship programs for employees and people managers companywide to build new skills to advance their careers within the company. These learning programs were developed internally with LinkedIn Learning resources and based on the evolving needs of our organization. Professional development topics include change management, support for hybrid and remote models and role-specific training to support skill development and career growth. At our manufacturing sites, we host onsite career and development fairs for people to learn about new possibilities.
It’s important to us that our employees experience life’s important moments feeling healthy and balanced. And, we listen closely to what our employees need – through programs like our annual employee engagement survey – and respond as these needs change. Our holistic approach to well-being encompasses all aspects of wellness and work/life balance, featuring a comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes health, retirement and incentive plans, as well as perks from pet insurance to discount codes for free merchandise.
Employee Resource Groups
We believe there is strength in connection. Shutterfly’s dynamic ERGs provide ways for employees to come together, learn and develop leadership skills based on common interests and experiences.
Each ERG has employee leaders who drive actions and activities throughout the year, such as external guest speakers, community outreach, and professional and personal development programs. These events provide a space for employees to develop support, appreciation and respect.
Every group is open to all employees within Shutterfly, and the resources and opportunities therein available to everyone. Learn more here.
Community
At Shutterfly, our purpose is to make life’s experiences unforgettable. And we believe that everyone deserves to experience unforgettable moments. Through a range of partnerships, programs, grants and employee volunteerism, we engage with people in our local and global communities to help open doors to life’s milestone moments, and, true to our mission, celebrate these moments along the way.
In 2023, more than 400 employees across the U.S., Canada and Israel engaged in chapter-led local volunteer events, contributed significant in-kind donations, and gave more than $125,000 back into their local communities. Highlights included several engagements with local food banks and food pantries, toy drives, Veterans Day activities, workforce readiness support and more. Read about our work here.
