Embracing flexibility is one important way we support employees as we adapt to new ways of working. In 2021, Discover continued to facilitate hybrid, on-site, and remote work to enable employees who can and wish to work remotely to do so in some capacity, while maintaining a safe environment for employees who need to be at our offices. We provide flexible working hours and options for setting up core meeting hours, and we stress the importance of scheduling check-ins to set boundaries and expectations on when each person is available. To reduce virtual meeting fatigue, we also have monthly, company-wide “No Meeting Days.” We empower employees and managers to work together to establish customized work arrangements that are best for individual and their teams, further promoting flexibility for our workforce.

Our EAP participation has consistently been double the industry norms, which speaks to our culture and the value we place on mental health. Discover encourages our employees to tend to their well-being and endeavors to dismantle mental health stigmas.
