Always exciting to see our work featured! Thank you to Lee Hafner and Employee Benefit News for the thoughtful piece on how we're supporting our employees. At Pinterest, we believe that taking care of our people means more than checking boxes—it's about creating a holistic support system that meets employees where they are in their lives. Whether that's flexibility in where we work, generous time off programs, free counseling through Lyra Health for employees and their families, or our evolving family-building support through partners like Maven Clinic. What I'm most proud of is how our benefits reflect our commitment to flexibility and choice. We're constantly listening and adapting to what our teams need to thrive—both professionally and personally—and it shows in the community and culture we're building together. https://lnkd.in/gsxP3jnC
congratulations, Doniel and team!! as you design 2026 benefits, let me know if adding a way for teams to stay resilient in the face of major pivots might add to the benefits portfolio? a couple other companies now have PQ in place and it's making a huge difference to teaming, working well together with greater Self Regulation to face AI disruption and build deeper Emotional Intelligence for life. the P&L impact is now fully documented, along with increases in innovation to solve gnarly company challenges.

Pinterest is possibly the most stupid of all social media platforms. Multiple times per week they send me "We recently removed a Pin from your board because it went against our Community Guidelines" on self-harm and harmful behaviour. These are pins from years ago, I haven't logged in for over 5 years. If these images were harmful, the damage has already been done. I can imagine the limp body, pale blue skin slumped in front a screen looking at my pin - LOL ! It gets worse, "If you think we've made a mistake, you can submit an appeal within 7 days." HOWEVER - they don't tell you which pin has been removed. The only thing that would motivate self-harm at this point is the emails Pinterest sends out to it's users.
My account has been suspended and I need to speak with a person, not a bot, about getting it reactivated. As a designer, art director, and artist, my businesses rely on the thousands of hours of board building I've done over the last decade. I'm reaching out here after trying the appeal process multiple times only to have a repetitive bot response. As I can not for the life of me find a phone number that might put me in contact with an actual employee, you've left me with no choice other than to troll your IG and Linkedin account in hopes of this putting me in contact with an actual person. All I want is for my account to be reactivated, and to be shown which images have actually gone against the very vague "community guidelines". I, like so many of your customers, have only begun receiving multiple flaggings recently--most of which have been reinstated a consistent followup email tells me--but no actual information as to which images this happened to. Please get in touch with me. My pinterest account is real cornerstone in my life and livelihood, and I really don't want to pursue a legal solution to this.
Amazing to see organizations prioritizing employee wellbeing in such a meaningful way. The commitment to flexibility, mental health, and family support is truly setting a new benchmark for what modern benefits should look like. Congratulations to the team—well deserved recognition!

Taking care of your people by providing innovative solutions certainly helps with retention.
Inspiring example of benefits designed around employees’ lives not just policies on paper
Love how Pinterest is treating ‘benefits’ as a strategic part of culture, not just a checkbox. The combination of flexibility, mental‑health access, and family‑building support reflects what research shows matters most to employees today.
