About Us | Roots

Our Mission

To help organizations foster employee growth and success.

Our vision for Roots is to become the foundational HR layer on which all organizations grow. Founded in 2017 by two friends navigating the corporate world, Roots is dedicated to reshaping HR, to ridding the workplace of bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy, and to positively impacting employee wellness, productivity, and retention.

We like to be

Agile

Roots was born out of a desire to move faster at work, as we always felt bogged down by bureaucracy and needless processes in our prior jobs. We believe the future of work is agile and we want to be a part of that movement.

We love to

Help People

When we first sat down to build Roots, we discussed our goals for founding the company - our core driver was and still is that we want to make meaningful change in the world, to positively impact people's lives.

We want to

Streamline HR

HR folks are all-stars and work hard every day to give us the best work-lives possible. By freeing them up from the manual processes and bulky tech they're accustomed to, we hope they'll get back to what they do best: elevating people.
