Well-being @ Audible

We are deeply committed to the well-being of our employees. Below are the pillars that guide us as we continually evolve our workplace, ensuring that we're prioritizing the health and wellness of our community.

We meet inclusively to drive outcomes and impact on behalf of our customers. At Audible, deep collaboration means fostering genuine connections based on shared experiences, clear communication, and understanding. This empowers us to do our best work, shoulder-to-shoulder across the globe, as we come together to unleash the power of the spoken word.

Audible's Meet Better initiative emphasizes meetings that are safe spaces for both ideation and iteration, resulting in purposeful outcomes.

In my years at Audible, I've learned that true innovation happens when we create spaces where everyone feels heard. While technology connects us across time zones, it's the genuine moments of collaboration, whether virtual or in-person, that spark our best ideas. I've watched teams transform when they take time to really see each other, share their unique perspectives, and build on their collective strengths. That's what WEgather means to me - creating those meaningful connections that turn colleagues into collaborators and ideas into impact.

Gather Listening

We prioritize paths to health and resilience. Building a strong foundation is key in today's ever-changing world. We offer a robust set of resources that support mental health, financial wellness, and more, and are always exploring new opportunities.

We believe that taking the time to recharge helps achieve better balance. We offer wellness days so employees can disconnect and prioritize personal growth and well-being.

I value how Audible promotes an environment where well-being is prioritized. Audible’s Allyship group shared a newsletter discussing tips for caring for our mental health and included links to helpful Audible resources from micro-learnings on breaking the stigma around mental health to well-being listens on eating and sleeping well, meditation and active listening practices. It encouraged us to pause, reflect, and take care of ourselves and our teammates.

Thrive Listening

We know how important it is to pause, to allow your mind and body to recover in order to tackle tomorrow's challenges. Reconnecting with ourselves through mindfulness and meditation allows us to access the benefits of being fully present and well-rested.

The LX is a visual and audio-immersive space for innovative gathering at our Newark Headquarters. Weekly well-being programming – referred to as LX for “listening experience” – includes mindfulness and movement practices, workshops and events. When not programmed, the space is available as alternative meeting space outfitted with soft seating and ottomans to spark creative conversation in a casual setting.

The monthly meditation sessions provide an opportunity for me to practice with professional guidance. I can focus my mind on the present and quiet distracting thoughts. I also started to incorporate the meditation into my morning and night routines by listening to our Morning and Sleep collections.

Focus Listening

We know powering the mind and body with high-quality nutrition is fundamental to overall health and happiness. Diets rich in variety and nourishment help us make whatever each day serves up more digestible.

A vintage bathtub filled with herbs and vegetables graces the rooftop terrace at our Berlin hub and is maintained by the Workplace Ops Team. This quaint garden, in addition to weekly fruit deliveries, allows the team to enjoy smoothies and healthy snacks in their fully equipped kitchen.

The Herbs Workshop provided valuable insights into different herbs and their health benefits. Everyone enjoyed the hands-on experience of creating mocktails, and I can now confidently experiment with various herbs and fruits to create my own refreshing beverages.

Fuel Listening

Engaging in physical activity each day, at our own pace, provides major mental and emotional benefits as well.

We create varied opportunities for physical activity through guided yoga sessions, fitness challenges, and energizing movement breaks across our global hubs. These accessible options make it easy to incorporate movement throughout the workday, helping employees feel refreshed and energized at their own pace.

It was great opportunity to join my team for a fitness session, where I engaged in activity that helped rejuvenate my body and revitalize my mind. The mental wellness benefits truly boosts my mind & helps me stay balanced. It also helped me be consistent in my regular exercise routine at my own pace, which keeps me energized and focused. To care for my body is to care for my mind.

Move Listening

We know coming together to share meaningful experiences is the spark of creativity. We provide our employees with opportunities to collaborate and celebrate in order to form and maintain strong connections with each other.

When we see ourselves reflected in our communities and celebrated for who we are, we’re inspired to express our true selves. Audible’s Impact Groups encourage an environment where you can be you.

The terrarium workshop was a refreshing wellness event that allowed me to connect with my San Francisco colleagues in a creative setting. I'm grateful that Audible offers these team-building activities, giving us the chance to interact beyond our usual work roles.
