Case Study: Almabase builds a sustainable employee-first remote culture with Plum

How Almabase Transitioned To A Sustainable Employee-First Remote Culture

Almabase, a SaaS provider for alumni engagement, faced the challenge of maintaining its strong employee-first culture after the sudden, mandatory shift to a remote work model due to the pandemic. Engagement was low as employees struggled with new financial, infrastructural, and mental well-being pressures. To support its team, Almabase sought a more robust benefits provider and partnered with the vendor Plum for its health insurance platform.

By implementing Plum's platform, Almabase provided its employees with a hassle-free health insurance experience, eliminating back-and-forth confusion and allowing employees to directly initiate claims and get answers via live chat. This was part of a comprehensive new remote work policy that included financial allowances for home office setup and recurring expenses, mental health support, and flexible hours. The solution successfully preserved the company's culture of trust, with one employee explicitly stating that working at a startup where wellness is a priority was a point of pride.
