About The Ladders

The landscape of employee benefits is evolving. Organizations invest significantly in benefits that may not resonate with their workforce. Established in 2017, The Ladders aims to redefine this paradigm by moving away from traditional, uniform solutions.

Our innovative benefits platform empowers organizations to create attractive benefits offerings while optimizing expenditures and minimizing inefficiencies, allowing employees greater autonomy in utilizing their benefit allocations. The platform also streamlines HR operations, saving valuable time in managing diverse solutions.

With The Ladders, companies can choose from a variety of offerings, including Lifestyle Spending Accounts, Health Spending Accounts, Health Reimbursement Arrangements, Flexible Spending Accounts, and more, to craft tailored benefits programs—all accessible through a unified platform. Employees enjoy multiple options for utilizing their account funds: the Ladders Store featuring discounted products and services, the Ladders Visa Card, or reimbursement claims supported by our exceptional member service team.

We have partnered with numerous esteemed organizations, helping them establish and maintain flexible, inclusive benefits programs for a vast employee base. Our success is reflected in our impressive customer retention rates and outstanding satisfaction scores.

The Ladders is supported by leading venture capital firms and has garnered recognition for its rapid growth, innovative software solutions, and as a top workplace.
