“Our employees’ wellbeing is at the heart of our business philosophy. Investing in the health and happiness of our employees not only empowers them to find success in our company.

In addition, various tuition fee reimbursement and professional development programs provide financial support aimed at helping Teammates complete their education or pursue higher learning in the spirit of TaskUs' core value of Continuous Self-improvement.
TaskUs expanded to Cali, Colombia in March 2021 and continues to grow and generate job opportunities for Cali’s highly talented and bilingual workforce. Since the beginning, the company has been involved in public-private partnerships that help boost local socio-economic activity and development, including the free online English skills program called “The Art of Fluency” for job seekers, as well as the Club San Fernando cleanup and the 2021 Feria de Cali. In its recent first anniversary celebration, the company launched its physical site called “The Arena” to continue providing employees with meaningful experiences—now on-site and face-to-face.
