Looking after our people

Our health insurance program covers hospitalizations, GP and specialist visits, dental care and also includes a flexible component that can be used for health screenings, vaccinations or optical care. We also cover virtual doctor visits and medication via WhiteCoat, a telehealth service. 

Mental health is important too, so to help you get through difficult times, we offer a free confidential Employee Assistance Program. Both our insurance program and Employee Assistance Program extend to cover Thoughtworkers’ spouses and children as well.

We offer 20 weeks of maternity leave and 4 weeks of paternity leave.

We offer group term life coverage, providing you with financial security during unexpected life events.

All Thoughtworkers at Lead grades or above are eligible to participate in our Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program through the granting of Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). The grant is subject to internal approval and will be executed according to the annual grant schedule.

Monthly communications allowance

This benefit will cover both your broadband internet access for the home and your mobile phone and/or tablet data plan based on actual costs.

Laptop and work-from-home setup allowance

We provide an allowance to cover both laptop accessories as well as equipment for your work-from-home setup.

Training leave

To support your continued growth, we offer two days of training leave to attend a conference or training program.

Personal Development Budget (PDB)

Each employee will be provided with a Personal Development Budget (PDB) that you can spend on training programs, conferences, courses and purchasing books.

Referral bonus

We encourage and recognize referrals with a bonus payment for each referral who is hired.

Sabbatical leave

Upon completing ten years at Thoughtworks, an employee is entitled to 12 weeks of paid leave. For every additional five years with the company, they are entitled to six weeks of paid leave.
