You want to have an offering and benefit to your employees so they can get peace of mind so we can concentrate on building the business…. It’s really cool to have a lot of stuff already pre-screened for us-we’ve taken the best of the best—and to be able to fine tune it. We have been able to make offers to people because of the health care benefits. We can back it with a name, WTIA endorsed, it’s always been a real positive for us.
A large number of startups take advantage of the health insurance. When they can save money on insurance and get access to other services they need that is cost effective and doesn’t cause a lot of distraction and time and time for them to find those services, they focus on building their business.
You have the other big players in the space like Microsoft and Amazon and we want to offer comparable benefits and being part of WTIA allows us to do that.
“I remember getting the offer and package and it included good health insurance and I thought great, I don’t have to give up good benefits (when joining a startup). It was because of our membership with WTIA that Tableau was able to have a competitive health insurance plan that makes it easier for employees to make the decision to start with a startup or grow with a company like Tableau.”
