Our Culture

What we do, we do right and with integrity. Everything we do is rooted in our shared values. They are our North Star, our guiding light. They drive how we make decisions, treat each other, and define success.

Our values drive us forward.

earn it, every day
earn it, every day

Greatness isn’t bestowed. It’s earned. That means challenging ourselves and one another to be better. Because we don’t assume our competitors are satisfied either. We meet problems head-on and push through. We put in the work because that’s what separates good from great.

Continuous growth is essential. But it’s not just about revenue. It’s about maximizing success by realizing our greatest potential — personally, professionally, organizationally, and for our clients. It’s about capitalizing on the opportunity for growth.

The ideal response to the status quo is a continual hunger for something better. We will celebrate our victories, but we cannot — and will not — camp out there. We were made for more. We will tap into our curiosity, everywhere and at all times.

Integrity matters, and we do what we say. We build trust intentionally, through every interaction — with clients, partners, and each other. We speak and act with honesty and transparency. We own every decision, personally and collectively.

No one part is greater than the whole, no matter the role. “We” is what makes us different. We’re intentional about silo-busting and flattening out hierarchies. We hear, affirm, inspire, and challenge one another.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Accessibility

At Paylocity, people matter most, and diversity of experience and perspective make us stronger together.

Over the past year, we continued to make significant strides in our DEIA journey and earned Forbes Best Employers for Diversity and Best Employers for Women recognition for the second year in a row.

We launched our first Women in Leadership conference and committee; kicked off our first Diversity in Sales Leadership roundtable; held our first Global Accessibility Awareness Day panel; hired a firm to conduct an accessibility audit of our entire organization; hosted numerous DEIA focus, listening, and roundtable groups; had employees participate in various women-in-leadership and racially diverse leadership conferences; continued to leverage our self-Identification functionality to gain a better understanding of our employee community for future DEIA efforts; and much more.

Our ERGs give our people an effective way to inspire organizational change, improve our business practices, and empower our workforce.
