Laptop and Cellular Phone

We consider our people to be part of a mobile workforce that needs to stay in close contact. Ventera issues every employee a laptop to assist in required on- and off-site versatility and independence. Our cellular phone policy allows each individual to choose a provider of his or her choice. Ventera reimburses the employee a predefined amount for phone usage.

Business Casual Attire

Instituting a business casual dress code allows our people a comfortable and creative atmosphere. Unrestrictive attire encourages our consultants to work in comfort while maintaining a standard of professionalism in the office and at clients' sites. We believe that when our employees are comfortable and happy in their work environment they will work more efficiently, effectively, and creatively.
