Talent Acquisition, Development & Retention The key to attracting and retaining talent lies with cultivating a workplace that employees are proud and excited to be a part of. Talent is a key competitive advantage to our business, and we are continuously advancing our approaches to people management and redefining the way the hybrid workplace feels and functions. Pure aims to attract talented professionals who are seeking new challenges and a healthy, thriving culture in which to do their best work. By applying our rigorous and structured interview process, we demonstrate objectivity and create excitement for the challenges ahead. Once with Pure, we actively invest in growing our employees’ skills and leadership while also retaining our top performers. Our always-on performance and development program connects performance and rewards together to help facilitate an ongoing conversation between managers and employees on progress, goals and expectations. At the same time, the program gives employees a platform to voice their career aspirations and individual development priorities. We continually measure employee engagement through our biannual Employee Voice Survey programs. In our most recent survey in November 2021, our engagement scores ranked in the top quartile of companies in the high-tech industry, signaling a strong culture of pride, satisfaction and belonging that drives our employees to stay and recommend Pure as a best place to work. While our end goal is not to win awards, we are grateful to be recognized by our employees, reflected in being named to Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Technology™ 2020, Fortune’s Best Large Workplaces in the Bay Area™ 2020 and Fortune’s Best Workplaces for Parents. Although we are pleased with our progress, we remain committed to expanding our investments in this important pillar of the human capital strategy.
