POET Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. POET is a private company with strong beliefs in holistic wellness which does include spiritual and emotional health. Team members are invited, but never required, to participate in any of the voluntary religious/spiritual programs offered. As POET continues to grow, we strive to stay focused on innovative and value-added activities that contribute to the ongoing success of our mission. As you mentioned, that does translate to quarterly profit-sharing which is a benefit we consistently receive good feedback about! We also encourage team members to have open lines of communication with their leader, or alternatively their People & Culture Partner (HR) to discuss any concerns they are experiencing.
