Be Unbeatable Together: 5 Things We Did in March

This March came in like a lion at Paylocity! Our employees were busy, doing everything from giving back to bonding to winning big. Want a peek inside Paylocity culture? Take a look at what we did this March:

1. We gave food to those in need

At our corporate office in Schaumburg, we held a CANstruction contest, where employees created structures using canned and boxed food that would later be donated to the local food pantry. Our Central Implementation team won the contest and in the spirit of giving back, gave their prize money to the Palatine Township Food Pantry to supply more food for those in need. A group of employees also volunteered at the local Feed My Starving Children center, packing 112 boxes — 24,192 meals — for undernourished children.

At our Meridian, Idaho office, employees took their CANstructure to the next level, entering one of their structures in the  Million Meals in March Canstruction Contest, Idaho Foodbank’s Corporate Challenge where companies in Idaho competed to raise food and funds for Million Meals in March. The Paylocity team used 305 cans to create Disney’s Cinderella Castle, complete with lights and a shooting star. Our Idaho employees also took time to volunteer at the food bank.

In Lake Mary, Florida, employees volunteered at Pine Crest Elementary School in Sanford on a weekly basis to pack bags from the school’s food pantry and distribute the bags to children in need. If there were no bags to pack, the volunteers read to younger students.

2. We celebrated our “sheroes” 

March 8 was International Women’s Day and employees across the company shared stories about the women in their life who inspired them. Many of our employees dressed in purple and white and struck the #BalanceforBetter pose. The pose — representing balance — helps to raise awareness for the need for gender balance in our world. And what better day for our newly created women’s Employee Resource Group to hold their kickoff meeting! This group — made up of employees across the company —aims to celebrate empowerment and drive positive change within our Paylocity community. 

3. We bonded over tech 

At Paylocity, we enjoy any opportunity to get together, and even more so when our product is front and center. Our products and tech teams did just that at TechCon — an annual, multi-day meeting of the minds where attendees learn new skills, evolve existing ones, and enhance team interactions. It was also a chance to get these groups together in one place, as the majority of this workforce is typically remote. Can you say “networking”? Attendees heard from executive leaders, recognized each other for another year of hard work and amazing accomplishments, and of course, had a fun in the process. What better way to get to know your coworkers?
