What sets Velir apart
Velir employees, or Velirians as we like to call ourselves, genuinely care about each other, our clients, and the work we do. We truly enjoy collaborating on client projects and spending time together at our social events. We distinguish ourselves from other agencies by offering a healthy work/life balance with paid time off, flexible work locations for most positions, more equitable parental leave for working parents, and regular company-wide gatherings.
We also strive to create a safe space where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves. Our flexible, supportive, and inclusive environment is one of the reasons why our employees stay for an average of four years, with many choosing to stay for even longer.
At Velir, we embrace the transformative power of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA)
We are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. Through our Business Resource Groups (BRGs), targeted training, and purposeful policies, we create opportunities to foster belonging, innovation, and equity. We see IDEA as embedded in our culture — not just a "nice to have," but a "must have" for our business strategy. Together, we celebrate individuality, champion authenticity, and drive meaningful results to enrich our organization, clients and partners, and global community.
At Velir, IDEA is more than a value — it’s how we succeed.
