Benefits and other cool things

At Motion Composites, we make wheelchairs to improve the lives of the people who need them, but we also care about our employees’ happiness. It’s part of our values. Here, humans are a top priority. That’s why we offer benefits that reflect our commitment to our team’s well-being.

Several group outings
This perk evolved very naturally over time. We got into the habit of getting together outside of work hours to ski, snowboard, mountain bike, wakeboard, have BBQs, go-karting, golfing, rock climbing and more!

Quarterly objectives and celebrations
Communication is vital to keep the company running smoothly. At least four (4) annual meetings are held with all employees to keep everyone informed of the company’s situation, upcoming projects and objectives. A new objective is set at the start of each quarter, based on a theme. When we reach our target, we celebrate with a special event. In the past, these have included a culinary competition, sugar shack outing, comedy show and karting.
