Working at Kinetix during the COVID-19 pandemic

As with other companies, we and our clients have felt the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We have adapted to the current situation and will continue evolving as necessary. Safety is our biggest concern. Currently, we are working remotely, but in the case of onsite visits, we require all employees and clients to strictly adhere to all local, state, and CDC guidelines as they pertain to social distancing, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and all other safety precautions to ensure that everyone can work as safely as possible.

At the start of the pandemic, we became a primarily remote workforce and use all the best communication tools to support our team and clients. We went from having monthly in-person events to virtual ones and continue to find ways of keeping our team connected. Visit our About Us page to learn more about life at Kinetix and our learning & feedback culture. Even though you will be remote, you will always feel like part of the team. We provide employees with all the equipment and tools they will need to work remotely. And if you feel like you don’t have everything you need to do the best job you can, you’re welcome to request additional equipment to set up your in-home office.

At Kinetix, our mission has been built on continuous improvement and growth. We believe this extends far beyond technical skills, certifications, or credentials.
