Frequently Asked Questions
Jasper promotes sustainable workloads and healthy work–life balance by actively monitoring capacity through resource planning and encouraging employees to take time away from work. Under its Flexible PTO policy, employees are required to take a minimum of two weeks off each year, reinforcing the importance of rest and recovery. On average, employees take 2.5 weeks of PTO annually, demonstrating a balanced approach to managing personal and professional commitments.
Employees consistently cite clearer communication, stronger leadership alignment, and trust in remote work as key reasons their workloads feel manageable. Jasper further reinforces work–life balance through a comprehensive benefits offering that supports life outside of work, including robust medical coverage, flexible paid time off, mental health resources, and lifestyle spending accounts that enable employees to invest in their overall wellbeing.
Jasper operates as a remote-first company, giving employees flexibility in where and how they work. Engagement survey results reflect strong confidence in this model, with employees describing their teams as professional, responsive, and highly effective at collaborating without being co-located.
Leadership reinforces this flexibility by setting clear expectations for remote work, investing in tools that enable distributed collaboration, and maintaining transparency around in-person collaboration norms. While Jasper does not require regular in-office attendance, teams are encouraged to build connection through intentional team meetups as well as local and virtual initiatives.
