goodbuy good to know
We get it, building incredible workplace culture has never been easy.
Not to mention employees are more stressed and less satisfied than ever.
Add to that: Gen Z, with an entirely new set of values and who comprise 25% of the population, is set to outnumber the Baby Boomer generation in the workforce in the next few years. Younger generations have note been shy about what they’re looking for from their employers: companies that value diversity, inclusion and social impact just as much as they do.
Perks That Actually Work
While a company branded t-shirt is a nice sentiment, it’s estimated that 23% of branded merch is immediately thrown into the trash and another 56% will be tossed shortly later. So skip the merch and never-used discounts for car rentals, 1-800-Flowers and cheap-chain-restaurants. Instead, engage your employees with perks they actually want; those that align with their generational values.
Among Gen Z employees' top values are:

Behind The Scenes
Hi there! It’s Cara Oppenheimer.
If you’re reading this, please know that this newsletter is written by real humans, not AI robots (ahem, so please excuse any typos 😬).
Quick time warp back to 2021: Cary and I are both working moms of tiny kids and we were SO frustrated and spending wayyyy too much time finding businesses we felt good about buying from. In an era where 2-day shipping and big-box stores took over the internet, we created goodbuy. Now goodbuy is an impact-centered marketplace with 1,500+ independent brands where shoppers can easily find stores that align with their values.
My favorite brands? There are too many to count, but a few I’m obsessed with today are: clean beauty products from Tower 28, sustainable luggage from Paravel and the Sleeptime Superlatte from Clevr Blends. For me, the best part about goodbuy is that I am constantly discovering (and rediscovering) fun, interesting, aligned brands every time I shop.
Before founding goodbuy, I spent my career working in the event agency world. For me, the best perks were always the ones that made me feel really seen. Like “Oh, these people really get me.” But those were few and far between. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to change corporate culture, constantly asking my teams if there's a more unique way to execute on ideas.
That’s why I’m really excited about the goodbuy Employer program. It’s NOT just another workplace perk. It’s really something that can get your team engaged in social impact, and shopping for the things they already want, in a unique way. No more coupons or Amazon gift cards that hold no meaning. With goodbuy, your people can find brands they’ll love and get incredible discounts all while supporting a small business. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Truth be told, we are a small business ourselves. We don’t have a huge sales team. If you reach out to goodbuy, I’ll be the one to answer and help you get started. Again, real humans! 😂
