At Curios Studios, we believe that our team’s health and well-being are essential to the success of the company. As a remote-first company, we prioritize creating a supportive and flexible environment that allows our team members to thrive both professionally and personally. This policy outlines the steps we take to support our team’s health, mental well-being, and overall work-life balance.

Mental Health Support 💬

  1. Open Communication: We encourage all team members to communicate openly about mental health challenges. Our remote work environment allows for flexibility, and we want to ensure that you feel supported in managing your mental well-being.
  2. Resources & Support: We provide access to mental health resources and encourage employees to take advantage of any counseling or support services they may need. This could include virtual mental health workshops, team check-ins, and more.
  3. Mental Health Days: We understand that mental health is just as important as physical health. Team members are encouraged to take "mental health days" as needed, without any negative impact on their performance or standing within the company.

Physical Health & Well-being 🏋️‍♂️

  1. Ergonomics & Workspace Setup: Since we are a remote-first company, we encourage team members to create ergonomic home office setups that promote good posture, reduce stress, and prevent injury. If necessary, we may provide guidelines or advice on improving workspaces.
  2. Fitness & Physical Activity: We encourage employees to engage in physical activities that promote health and reduce stress. Whether it’s through online workout sessions, walking breaks, or other fitness initiatives, physical well-being is vital to maintaining productivity and focus.
  3. Paid Time Off (PTO): Our remote work environment provides flexibility, but we also recognize the importance of taking breaks and using PTO to recharge. We offer a fair PTO system to support your personal time and help prevent burnout.

Work-Life Balance ⚖️

  1. Flexible Hours: We understand that everyone has different schedules and responsibilities. Team members are encouraged to set their own hours to suit their individual needs, as long as the work gets done and deadlines are met.
  2. No Overtime Culture: We believe in working smart, not long. We encourage our team to avoid overtime and work at a sustainable pace. If you feel overwhelmed or need assistance with workload management, please let us know.
  3. Time for Personal Life: We want you to have time for personal activities and family life. Balancing your professional and personal time leads to a happier and more productive work environment.

Team Support & Collaboration 🤝

  1. Regular Check-ins: We conduct regular team check-ins to discuss workloads, expectations, and overall well-being. These sessions are meant to provide a space for open conversation and identify any potential challenges before they escalate.
  2. Team Bonding: As a remote team, we value virtual bonding experiences that promote mental and emotional well-being. We hold virtual team-building activities, game nights, and other fun, light-hearted events to keep morale high and encourage positive team dynamics.
  3. Feedback and Improvement: Our company culture is built on continuous improvement. If you have ideas for improving the health and well-being of our team, we welcome your feedback and are always open to new initiatives.

Reporting and Accountability 📢

If you ever feel that your health or well-being is being compromised due to work-related pressures, or if you need additional support, we encourage you to reach out directly to your supervisor or HR representative. Your concerns will be addressed with care and confidentiality.
