Some of the unique benefits Weber Shandwick provides employees in its Dallas office include:

 

  • The Army of Fun, an anonymous committee with the power to surprise the office with breakfast tacos, margaritas and Putt Putt tournaments
  • A Mind, Body and Soul program that reimburses employees who invest in health and wellness activities
  • Opportunities to pursue professional goals by offering additional paid days off and tuition reimbursement
  • Numerous volunteer and pro bono initiatives that give back to the local community
  • Exchanges with Weber Shandwick offices around the word ranging from short-term visits to long-term assignments
Our goal is to be recognized as an employer of choice in every market we serve. That requires offering our people unique and challenging professional opportunities, investing in ways to connect our employee communities through our custom-built internal social platform and creating a culture that recognizes and rewards exceptional performance. I’m incredibly proud of the team in Dallas for this achievement.
