We are headquartered physically in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada, with a satellite office in LA.
Mindful Collective Co. is committed to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment.
As a general rule, we embrace our values to guide our interactions.
Wellbeing for all
We’re here to create a more balanced world, and that starts by creating balance within. Everything we make supports movement and mindfulness—because when our minds are clear, our bodies are strong, and our souls are nourished, we can chase what matters most and inspire others to do the same.
A few ways we live this value:
Connecting With Heart
We’re in the business of connection. Of course, connecting inward is part of it. But we also deeply honour our connections with teammates, partners, ambassadors, and customers. Surface-level relationships aren’t our thing: We listen carefully to others’ needs, prioritize clear and thoughtful communication, and put trust, kindness and compassion above all else.
A few ways we live this value:
Making an Impact
Our products are designed with fierce attention to quality and detail. After all, if we want to impact our customers’ practices for the better, we must go beyond the status quo. We’re also committed to owning the impact we have as leaders. From empowering our team members to supporting changemakers in the wellness space, we strive to lift others up and assist them in their evolution.
A few ways we live this value:
Living with Integrity
For us, integrity means living our yoga off the mat, regardless of convenience or cost. It means minimizing harm to people or the planet; only taking what we need; leading with our truth; celebrating others’ work; and directing our energy towards positive change. It takes a little extra effort to hold this alignment, but we consider it key to building transformative teams, products, and communities.
A few ways we live this value:
Our mission is to inspire people everywhere to live their most best and balanced lives, and for us, that starts with our people. We know our customers will not be inspired to ‘live their yoga’ until our team members live theirs first. Our MCCer’s describe our culture as inclusive, supportive, and fast-paced with a focus on wellness.
In our most recent Employee Engagement survey, we scored a 43.8% Employer Net Promoter Score. Employer Net Promoter Score, or eNPS, is a scoring system designed to help employers measure employee satisfaction and loyalty within their organizations. The ideal eNPS can be different for different industries, generally a score of 10–30 is good, and anything above that is excellent. We benchmark our score against previous year’s scores to gage how we deliver on our employer value proposition.
What our MCC’ers Think...
When it comes to our benefits and perks, our aim is to reflect our values. Some examples of our perks inspired by our values:
At Mindful Collective Co, we have two physical office locations, one in Burnaby, BC (Vancouver), one in Markham, ON (Toronto), in addition to a “Virtual” office. We’ve learnt that our people really value flexibility, and we are working towards defining what that means to our business for the future.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are doing our utmost to protect and inform the health and safety of our people with the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and other common flu and colds. Our in-office teams are currently working primarily remotely, as we take all precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of all employees. The wellbeing of our employees is our highest priority and MCC will continue to implement preventative measures and provide communication updates when required.
Mindfully Moving Forward: an update on our Diversity and Inclusion Plan
Note, our action plan is just the start of our ongoing work to be self-reflective as a company and evaluate how we can better show up in service for the community. We are inspired to connect with our hearts, the hearts of others, and the hearts of movements that are committed to long-term cultural change. As a result, we’ve decided to rename it our Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan to better reflect the work we’re doing and the groups we hope to positively impact and work with.
Our Action Plan is continually evolving and being revised as we see more opportunities to show up in service of the community. Our Diversity and Inclusion Plan lays out our ongoing commitments to supporting meaningful change in the wellness industry.
We acknowledge with gratitude that our work takes place on the traditional territory of many Indigenous nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples (Markham); the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples (Burnaby); and the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles).
