CAREERSCULTURE
We’re a company for sure, but we’ll feel like a community.
At Paychex, putting good to work reflects our approach to corporate responsibility. It’s empowering our Employees through well-being, inclusion, and diversity. It’s giving back and making a positive impact in our communities. It’s serving as a good steward of the environment. It’s a commitment to ethics and doing business the right way for ourselves and our clients. It’s about everything we do to Be Paychex.
Don’t take our word for it.
Here’s what our employees are saying.
Our Values
Our commitment to corporate responsibility—and all of our business practices—are guided by six values that demonstrate what it means to Be Paychex:
Integrity
Be Ethical
Partnership
Be Collaborative
Accountability
Be Responsible
Respect
Be Considerate
Innovation
Be Curious
Service
Be Helpful
The effort that the organization puts in to establishing a culture that embraces the Paychex values is what stands out to me. Making the values engrained in all that we do not only makes us more effective employees, but extends to all aspects of life to make us better people.
Policies here are much more people focused and not process focused as I’m accustomed. The human element is considered as a uniquely contributing and vital part of the culture.
The focus on employees and culture are unique to Paychex. Many other companies talk culture and values but don’t practice them in day to day activities.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Appreciating our diversity of talent, skills, and experiences is an important part of our Respect value and helps build a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive.
In 2023, we made tremendous strides in our DEI program. We established a DEI Advisory Board and expanded our Employee Business Resource Groups to give employees the opportunity to grow and be exposed to senior leaders while advocating for underserved communities and supporting the business. We also mobilized Regional Networks across several large Paychex locations nationwide to help employees connect and grow.
Paychex CEO John Gibson signed the CEO Action for Diversity & InclusionTM pledge in 2023, reaffirming a commitment his predecessor, Martin Mucci, made in 2020. The pledge demonstrates that DEI remains a top priority for the company and exemplifies the support from Paychex leaders.
Part of our DEI journey involves an intentional focus on working with the Paychex Foundation to identify charitable organizations that we can support that support our communities. In 2023 we donated to organizations such as the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, Asian Americans Advancing Justice and The Gary Sinise Foundation. These charitable donations went directly to the communities we live in and serve by supporting programs that advance the next generation of the workforce, community leaders and policy development.
Giving Back
At Paychex, we believe in creating a world where people are the most important part of every business. We know that happier, healthier, and engaged teams create better businesses. And strong, local businesses support vibrant communities. An integral piece of our commitment to corporate responsibility is charitable giving. It’s ingrained in our culture and is central to our corporate identity.
In donations that Paychex and its employees have given to United Way organizations across the U.S. since 2006.
In grants from the Paychex Charitable Foundation that were awarded in FY23, a new foundation fiscal year record, helping to support strong and vibrant communities in the markets where our employees live and work.
Environmental Sustainability
Being a good steward of the earth is essential for putting ‘good’ to work. Every year, we find more ways to take care of our planet and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. Whether it’s designing our facilities, reducing waste, or encouraging grassroots efforts from employees, the “Paychex Cares” mantra applies all around us too.
Balance & Well-being
The Paychex voluntary well-being program supports employees in making health a priority. It addresses the environmental and cultural factors that influence all dimensions of well-being, including physical, social-emotional, financial, community, and career.
Employees are actively working on their well-being through our wellness platform.
