Our Culture, Our People
You already know what we do. But it's also important to know the day-to-day stuff: What are my co-workers like? What's the
dress code? Let this section be your guide.
Our environment
Keeping up in our dynamic environment means learning to love change. You'll be challenged to seek out new learning opportunities;
to get to know players in other parts of the organization and to ask the tough questions.
Your development
Personal and professional growth is impossible without lifelong learning. Captaris provides you with leadership training during
the first year of your employment and works with you to develop leadership skills for the future. As part of your yearly goals,
you will be expected to participate in personal and professional development that may include seminars, conferences or technical
certification programs - all with the Company's support.
What it's really like
We can tell you, but to truly understand us, you'll have to discover Captaris for yourself. We enjoy a casual dress code and
work environment where you can freely communicate with people in other departments, across campuses or at any level in the
organization. Communicating effectively requires continuous effort, but at Captaris you won't be restricted by formal communication
protocols or top-down-only messages.
Community Crew
The Captaris Community Crew strives to build teamwork and encourage associates to make a difference in their community by
giving their time and resources to local and nationwide charities. It is our intent to have activities reflect the Captaris
values while demonstrating sound corporate citizenship, ethics and responsibility. The Crew is also responsible for creating
opportunities to socialize and enjoy coworkers through a variety of events throughout the year.
Charitable activities and social events vary at each campus and are organized and executed by a committee of volunteers from
various departments. Any and all Captaris associates are encouraged to volunteer their time with the Captaris Community Crew.
Captaris provides a mix of resources and innovation to allow you to do your best work - and see it have an impact in the marketplace.
If you're looking for a company where your ideas and contributions will make a real difference, you've found it.
