Risepoint Earns Comparably Awards for Employee Happiness, Benefits, Work-Life Balance

Risepoint, an education technology company focused on expanding access to workforce-relevant higher education, has been recognized with three Comparably Best Places to Work Awards. The awards celebrate achievements in employee happiness, perks and benefits, and work-life balance, as determined by anonymous feedback from current employees.

The recognition highlights different facets of the employee experience, from workplace environment and connection to company goals, to the availability of benefits and the ability to balance professional and personal life. Unlike awards decided by a panel or application, Comparably's honors are based solely on direct employee sentiment collected over a 12-month period.

"We want our employees to be able to do impactful work while having the flexibility and support they need in their lives outside of work," stated Risepoint CEO Fernando Bleichmar. He emphasized that the awards are particularly meaningful due to their origin in direct employee feedback, reflecting the culture the company strives to build.

As a remote-first company with a global workforce, Risepoint has focused on evolving its approach to employee connection, growth, and collaboration. This includes offering flexibility in work arrangements and investing in benefits and resources designed to support employees at various life and career stages. The company has previously received other Comparably awards this year, including recognition for best career growth and leadership teams.
