22 Startup Companies Hiring Remote Workers Now
|
|
|
Looking for a new gig? You’re not alone. More than half of us are looking for new work in 2023, according to a recent Bankrate survey. Even with The Great Resignation behind us, millions of workers are seeking to make a change for more flexibility. That includes both hours and working location. Remote jobs typically offer both in spades. Who doesn’t love being able to put on a load of laundry between conference calls?
LinkedIn just released its 2023 Top Startups list, ranking companies that are providing the benefits and perks employees want most now. “In addition to remote and hybrid models, many of the companies are supporting their workers with WFH stipends, increased mental health benefits, virtual trainings and upskilling opportunities to help people succeed in this new normal,” says LinkedIn Senior Editor at Large Jessi Hempel.
The majority of the startups listed are embracing remote and hybrid roles. Of the 50 startups, 33 are actively hiring remote roles, and some companies have quite a few jobs available. Here’s a look at all of the startup companies hiring remote positions right now.
How to Get Invested And Stay Invested: A Roadmap for Women’s Success
We all want to make sure our money is working as hard for us as we’re working for ourselves — and this is particularly important for women. When Gargi Pal Chaudhuri graduated from college in 2001, she landed a plum job on Wall Street and she jumped into the challenge of investing for her firm and its clients — but she didn’t do the same for herself. “I didn’t even start putting money in my 401(k),” she says, acknowledging that she definitely left matching dollars on the table because retirement seemed so far away. “It was a big mistake.” But those early mistakes are a big part of the reason why Chaudhuri, who today is the Head of iShares Investment Strategy Americas at BlackRock, is on a quest to make sure other young women are investing as soon as they can. This week at HerMoney.com, she shares how investing not only needs to be a lifetime endeavor for all women — it’s also more accessible and less costly than you may think.**
Becoming America’s Most Beloved Ballerina With Misty Copeland
When Misty Copeland became American Ballet Theatre’s first Black Principal dancer and ballet’s biggest superstar, she changed what the face of ballet could look like. And of course, Copeland is not only a ballerina, she’s also a New York Times bestselling author, a director of the short film FLOWER, and a recent co-founder (alongside Derek Jeter and Wayne Gretzky) of the athletic wear company Greatness Wins.
On this week’s How She Does It Podcast, proudly supported by iShares, Copeland sits down with Karen Finerman to talk about how she’s taken a step back from ballet to balance her life’s other focuses, including her new line with Greatness Wins, her production company, lifting up other dancers via the Misty Copeland Foundation and perhaps most importantly, her role as a new mom. Copeland says with all of these roles, she’s pursuing the same goals she had on stage, “which is to broaden the audiences of ballet, to diversify it, to have these difficult conversations and move the art form forward. This is my opportunity to kind of step away and take a moment…And that includes what it looks like to be a mother.”

Is Your Job Making You Depressed?
Depression is a prevalent and often hidden challenge that affects millions of people worldwide. Depression at work can be particularly insidious, impacting not only the individual's mental health but also their productivity, relationships, and overall well-being.
At work, depression can manifest in various ways and its consequences are far-reaching. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and it can substantially affect an individual's ability to work and function in a professional setting. The WHO estimates that over 264 million people worldwide suffer from depression, making it a significant global health concern that costs employers in the US approximately $44 billion annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare costs.
How do you tell if it’s your job causing you to feel down at work, or something else entirely? Experts say there are a number of telltale signs you can look for to determine if it’s just a rough patch in your life, or something more serious. And thankfully, if you think your job might be making you depressed, there are things you can do to improve the situation. First and foremost, take time to reflect. “Set aside time to think about the specific aspects of your job that are causing you stress and depression,” writes Elizabeth Pearson. “Identifying the root causes can help you address them more effectively.”
Bring Your Whole Self To Work, With Maeve DuVally
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (or DEI) has been a big topic of conversation in recent years, particularly when it comes to the workplace. DEI efforts seek to make workplaces more inclusive, welcoming, and equitable for all. According to research from PEW, women (you guessed it) are more likely than men to value DEI at work, and people under 30 are the most likely age group to say a focus on DEI is a good thing. More recently though, there’s been chatter that for some companies, DEI efforts are only a facade to make their workplaces look better — without really putting much effort into making the changes that matter.
Maeve DuVally is on a mission to ensure DEI efforts are actually changing the face of corporate America — and to be a mentor for trans employees in the workplace. DuVally lived through workplace challenges herself at a place notorious for not being an easy environment for women to work: Wall Street. DuVally details her coming out story in her new book, Maeve Rising: Coming Out Trans in Corporate America. This week, DuVally sits down with Jean Chatzky on the HerMoney Podcast* to share her advice for anyone wanting to bring their full selves to the workplace.
In their discussion, DuVally also delves into how we can all better support LGBTQ+ colleagues, saying the best thing you can do is ask questions. “Once you’re comfortable being an ally, support whoever it is you’re being an ally too. When you see bad behavior, call it out.”
