A corporate culture full of collaboration

Did you know that 22% of Klean employees have been with the company for over 10 years and another 41% have been with the company for over 5 years? Those numbers make us happy! Our people are what drive us and we like to think of Klean as more of a family than anything else. At Klean, we’ve built a culture that fosters trust, instills respect, and creates inspiration. To quote our co-owner/co-CEO Michelle Kalberer, “Caring for our people is as easy as breathing. It comes naturally because it comes from love.” Some might think that love is a vague concept, that you can’t take it seriously at work. But love is a fundamental human experience and it’s crazy to think that it shouldn’t be part of our working lives. This doesn’t mean we have a hug thing every day. It means we have ethics and values, where we treat each other with respect. We can have a heated argument one minute and laugh together the next. People first We are committed to caring for our diverse, global team. We strive to inspire everyone our business touches to be healthy, happy and focused on continually growing and improving in ways bigger than themselves. A culture of collaboration Every employee at Klean, regardless of role or tenure, is encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas to help the company grow and evolve. While we have job titles, managers, VPs, and reviews like any other organization, we view Klean as more of a family than anything else. This ethos starts with our brother and sister co-owners, Michelle Kalberer and Jeff Cresswell. Employee Programs and Benefits Klean offers top-notch traditional benefits, from 401k contributions to 100% paid health insurance. In addition, all employees are eligible to participate in several programs that promote health and wellness and encourage sharing in the company's success. Employee ownership and profit sharing After one year of employment, all employees are eligible to participate in Klean's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Volunteer Program Klean offers all employees 24 hours of paid time off per year to volunteer at nonprofit organizations of their choice. Learning and personal growth Employees are provided with ongoing training and development opportunities that promote work and life skills and are designed to support long-term employment. Wellbeing programs Upon joining, employees enjoy programs that support their health and well-being through flexible work hours, fitness memberships, on-site programs and resources for behavioral therapy services. Paid parental leave All employees are provided with 100% paid parental leave to bond with a newborn, newly adopted or newly placed child to enjoy and adjust to their new family environment. Office Friendly Dogs Klean's informal atmosphere, including man's best friend, boosts morale, increases productivity and creates a happier work environment for all staff.
