About Journey

Journey is the leading proactive mental health solution for modern companies. Rooted in the following three core beliefs: Engagement must be inclusive of all employees, especially the hardest to reach; Employees need proactive tools that meet them where they are; and, providing benefits is just the start - the culture must support mental health.

We are a rapidly growing tech startup, and we work with care and intention to create a high-performance company with the following in mind:

  • Speed Wins. Make decisions, move quickly, and know that if things go wrong, it’s okay for you and the company.
  • Intuition, Then Data. We’re a data-driven company. We start with our instincts and then use data to validate our decisions and improve.
  • Miles, Not Inches. Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Favor bold ideas over incremental changes
  • Customer-Obsession. We are obsessed with helping all people to live happier, healthier lives. We accomplish this by knowing our customers incredibly well and finding ways to make their lives better.
  • Truth Through Safety & Courage. A safe space allows all of us to feel secure and welcome, which creates the environment needed to act courageously, speak our truth, and see different perspectives. Doing so leads to the best decisions and the most successful company.
  • Quality Matters. The quality of our work reflects on us as individuals, our teammates, and the company as a whole. Ensure your work is top-notch and hold your teammates to a high standard. If something needs improvement, you’re encouraged to take ownership and make it better.
