Hi, I’m Stacy! I’m the Office Manager here at Grasshopper. I’m the person you go to if you need help putting together a fun event, booking flights, shipping a package, or refilling food and snacks. I’m the unofficial “office mom!” It’s a super fun job that has lots of rewards, professionally and personally.

I’m not only an office manager, but I’m also a culture-driver. It’s my responsibility to make sure Grasshopper employees are happy, healthy, and excited about coming to work. I’ve learned a lot that can help other office managers and company culture hounds.

Here are 6 of my tips for creating awesome company culture.

This post is part of our 10th birthday celebration. Stay tuned every month for fun posts, like this one, contests and more!

Ten years ago, your financial situation may have looked radically different than it does today. Maybe you were working a 9 to 5 at a big corporation daydreaming about the small business you would start in the future. Maybe you were just entering the workforce and exploring how to set-up your first 401(k) plan. Or, maybe you were still in high school, earning and spending money from babysitting or mowing the neighbor’s grass. No matter where you are or where you’ve been, your money has probably gone through a whirlwind of change – right under your nose, too.

For most of us, life seems much more expensive now. But is it? Check out how the costs of these ten things have changed in the past ten years.

Today we’re celebrating Prab and his passing of the 11G certification test. Prab is our lead database administrator on our systems design team.

For those of you who don’t know, this certification means that Prab has mastered all the features in the Oracle databases that Grasshopper uses. Congratulations, Prab!

At Grasshopper, we want to provide the best service possible, and one of the ways we do that is by having the right people on board. We encourage our employees to stay up to date on the latest technologies and solutions, and honor them when they do. That’s why we’re celebrating Prab and his accomplishments.

100% up time is a top objective of the Operations team.  We’re investing deeply in our employees and enabling them with the latest training to ensure that Grasshopper customers get solid, reliable service every day. -Steve Lorusso, VP of Engineering & Operations

To celebrate (besides doing fun things around the office – check our Facebook page for photos!), we’re offering a special Prab discount!

For today only,  all new sign-ups can enjoy $25 off, thanks to Prab and his amazing skills!
