HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Crossflow offers education assistance to benefit-eligible employees for degree programs at their director's discretion. Crossflow feels that a well-rounded education, even outside of an employee's current role, can enhance an employee's skillset and increase the company's value.

GENEROUS PTO ACCRUAL & FLEXIBLE LEAVE POLICY
Crossflow currently grants 11 federally observed paid holidays. In addition to these holidays, Crossflow offers a minimum of 2 weeks of paid time off (PTO) to all full-time employees. Employees may utilize PTO for any reason (sickness, vacation, personal day, etc.) and can carry over a maximum of 120 hours from year to year. Many employees are authorized to work additional hours within a normal, forty-hour pay period. This approval is included in the employee's offer letter for employment.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM & MORALE LUNCHES
The most successful people in the world always have a terrific team behind them, and Crossflow chooses to be the team behind the people, cheering our employees on to meaningful successes. Our Mentorship Program involves strategically pairing a protégé with a mentor who understands an employee's career aspirations and provides coaching towards that goal. A less structured version of this is our Morale Lunch program. We committed a portion of our budget to support our leads to meet with their team members over lunch and facilitate quality catch up sessions. The morale lunches have become a great tool for maintaining open communication and gaining insightful feedback.
