Today we’re celebrating the 10 Sequoia offices around the world where our team members connect, collaborate, and create the best possible experience for the people we serve.

Our global offices give us places to build relationships, exchange ideas, and rally around the work. But what makes them special is the team that fills them with warmth, energy, expertise, and a genuine desire to go above and beyond. The result is a more connected Sequoia team and a tangible difference in our clients’ daily experience, year after year.

The people who come together across our 10 global offices are one of our 25 favorite things.

Benefits should be easier to use.

As we look ahead to the next 25 years of coming through for our clients, we’re focused on one of the biggest challenges people leaders face today: managing benefits that are increasingly complex, dynamic, and expensive.

That’s why we’re making the Sequoia Benefits Portal available at no additional cost to eligible clients with standard plans and 100–1,000 U.S. employees on their benefits programs.

SBP gives HR and finance teams one central hub for benefits administration, with integration support across HRIS, payroll, and carrier partners. It also gives employees a simpler way to understand and use the benefits their companies have invested in.

This is more than a platform update. It is part of our commitment to make benefits easier, while giving our clients more control and clarity across the entire benefits lifecycle.

We’re grateful to the clients who continue to trust us with this important work. Making benefits easier for you and your people is one of our 25 favorite things.

How many HR leaders have had this thought? “We want to invest in wellbeing, but the vendor landscape is overwhelming and we have a limited budget.”

That’s exactly why we built Sequoia Wellbeing Bundles on Sequoia OS.

Instead of piecing together point solutions, our clients can activate curated bundles of physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing programs with one price, one contract, and one bill. We help them choose from 70+ combinations of vetted vendors, launch with integrated comms and webinars, and then track adoption and utilization so they can flex the bundle if something isn’t resonating.

For HR teams, it’s a smarter way to go all in on wellbeing without adding chaos. For employees, it’s meaningful support that shows up in the same experience they already use for their benefits.

Our wellbeing bundles, and the clients using them to turn intent into real support for their people, are one of our 25 favorite things.

Transform has become one of our favorite places to see clients and friends shape the future of work. From CHROs and CFOs to founders and people leaders, the conversations on AI + humanity, people spend, and culture are why we keep coming back. Every year, we see our clients at their best: sharing what they’ve learned, asking hard questions, and shaping what comes next together.

As part of our celebration, we’re honoring that community by making it easier for more leaders to be in the room. We’re sponsoring 25 conference passes for first‑time attendees at Transform 2027, so people who might not otherwise make the trip can join the conversations, build new relationships, and carry fresh ideas back to their teams.

Our partnership with Transform, and the clients and friends we get to see there, are one of our 25 favorite things.

AI at Sequoia is more than a buzzword, it’s the quiet moments of work it takes off our clients’ plates.

Inside Sequoia OS, AI helps HR and Finance leaders move faster through renewal modeling, quote analysis, and plan decisions, and then turns those finalized choices into clearer guidance for employees. From AI‑assisted quote parsing and cost modeling, to AI‑powered benefits education that answers employees’ real questions about their actual plans, automation is giving leaders time back and helping their people get support without waiting on an inbox.

It’s not AI for AI’s sake; it’s AI built into the workflows where smarter people spend and better employee experiences come together.

Our AI‑enhanced automation in Sequoia OS, and the clients and employees who rely on it every day, is one of our 25 favorite things.

When you’re under pressure to manage costs and stay competitive, “how do we compare?” stops being a curiosity and becomes a critical question.

Our benchmarking reports have become one of our 25 favorite things because of what they unlock for our clients: a clearer view of how their benefits, compensation, equity, and wellbeing programs stack up against peers, and where they can move next with confidence.

From our Benefits Benchmarking series to Comp and Equity Trends reports, we’re helping HR and People leaders turn market data into smarter people spend decisions.

Our benchmarking reports, and the leaders who rely on them, are one of our 25 favorite things.

There’s a part of Sequoia that rarely shows up in a renewal deck or comp model, but changes the client experience every day: the people who pick up the phone and answer the hard employee questions.

Our amazing Employee Advocate team is dedicated to coming through for our clients’ employees, one situation at a time. They’ve supported 90,000+ employee cases just this past year, helping people enroll, resolve complex claims, and make sense of the coverage their company provides. When someone is stressed about a bill, confused about a benefit, or unsure where to turn, they get a calm expert who stays with them until it’s resolved.

For HR and People teams, that dedication is a relief. As Lia Seth, Director of People at Cylinder, shared: “We’re a small team with limited resources. Being able to tell employees, ‘Hey, if you have questions on these plans, you can email Sequoia directly for support,’ took so much of the work off our plate.”

Our Employee Advocates, and the way they show up for our clients’ employees every day, are one of our 25 favorite things.

Hiring your first person in a new country can feel a lot less like a growth milestone and a lot more like a risk: unfamiliar regulations, unclear market norms, and scattered brokers. That’s where our global work with clients began.

Over the years, you’ve come to our team with challenges like:
🔸 Turning a single contractor into a core team in a new market
🔸 Covering global travelers who are constantly on the move
🔸 Integrating benefits after a merger that suddenly spans continents
🔸 Designing programs that feel local, but still align to one global strategy

Together, we’ve built a model that makes those decisions easier. With the Sequoia Global Network, the Sequoia OS global portal, and a consulting team that lives and breathes cross‑border complexity, clients get a clearer view of their global benefits story: what they offer, what it costs, how it compares, and where they may want to go next. For their people, it means access to care and support that feels close to home, wherever “home” happens to be.

Our global practice, and the clients who have trusted us to take their people strategy worldwide, are one of our 25 favorite things.

In 2014, a group of early-stage founders and people leaders came to us with a clear ask: help us offer big‑company benefits, HR, and payroll support on a startup budget. Together, we built Sequoia One.

Since then, our clients have shown us what it really means to grow by someone’s side. Their feedback shaped which benefits mattered most to early teams. Their hiring plans and funding milestones pushed us to keep evolving our service model. Their trust turned Sequoia One from an idea into a long-term partner that scales from first hires through new markets, new products, and IPOs.

To say thank you, every employee of our Sequoia One clients will receive five complimentary sessions with Spring at no additional cost. We know these are challenging times, and we're committed to supporting employee wellbeing in the same spirit that our clients have supported our growth.

Sequoia One, and the clients who built it with us, are one of our 25 favorite things.

Some of our favorite “Sequoia moments” don’t happen in a conference room or renewal meeting. They happen on the couch at home, in a doctor’s waiting room, or on the way to pick up kids, when someone opens the Sequoia mobile app to figure out what they have and how to use it.

The app brings together the rewards our clients provide so employees can see the total value of their compensation and benefits, pull up ID cards in seconds, search for care, track deductibles and balances, and discover the wellbeing programs they might not have realized were available.

For our clients, it means their investment in comp and benefits is easier to understand and engage with. For their people, it means less time hunting through emails and portals, and more time getting the support they and their families need.

The Sequoia mobile app, and the employees who rely on it to navigate their total rewards every day, is one of our 25 favorite things.
