This accolade underscores the company’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and balanced workplace, making it an exemplary environment for innovation and employee satisfaction.

“I’m relentlessly proud of Zepto,” said Zepto CEO and Co-Founder Matt Cheers. “We’re no strangers to AFR Boss awards, having been a Most Innovative Companies winner and finalist in recent years.

The release of Zepto’s Social Impact and Sustainability Policy in 2024 reaffirmed its commitment to gender, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through initiatives like the “Zepto Collectives”, employees are encouraged to lead projects that resonate with their passions, fostering a deeper sense of community.

Zepto champions a healthy work-life balance with its Wellbeing Menu and the Uprise Employee Assistance Program, providing 24/7 mental health support. By valuing output over physical presence, Zepto supports flexible work arrangements, with 97.6% of employees feeling empowered to take time off as needed.

Highlighting the importance of in-person connection, Zepto launched the NXNE (North by North East) Summit, drawing inspiration from SXSW. This three-day event addresses both personal and business needs, enhancing camaraderie and strategic alignment while celebrating the Zepto community.
