Culture
Our Culture is often imitated, and never duplicated. Every Employee is responsible for promoting and preserving our Culture. We also have a Culture Services Department that is charged with championing a Culture through which every Employee knows he or she matters.
Our Culture is woven into all aspects of our business and our Employees’ lives, from the way Employees treat each other to the way that our Company puts our Employees first. Three vital elements of our Culture are appreciation, recognition, and celebration.
In order to promote and foster a fun and healthy work environment, we work to appreciate every Employee through Local and Companywide Culture Committees.
Employees take time to recognize each other in formal and informal ways, including internal awards and programs, such as the Winning Spirit Award. We have several prestigious Company awards that Employees can be nominated to receive, like the President’s Award, and we recognize Company service through milestone anniversary celebrations.
Celebrating is something Southwest® is known for—our Company history is full of fun and creative events, and our Employees enjoy annual Companywide celebrations such as Spirit Parties, Chili Cook-offs, and the Southwest Rallies. On top of the Company-sponsored events, our Employees enjoy participating in locally-hosted celebrations and recognition for life events and milestones.
Benefits
At Southwest Airlines®, our Employees come first.
It’s more than just a paycheck. A career at Southwest Airlines includes several benefits and perks, from our legendary Culture to travel privileges for Employees and their eligible dependents. Southwest® offers an excellent benefits package, including a generous dollar-for-dollar Company match in the 401(k) Plan, subject to vesting requirements and certain compensation limits, as well as a ProfitSharing Plan.
Medical coverage
Employees choose from medical coverage options ranging from preferred provider organizations (PPOs) to a high deductible health plan. Southwest covers a generous amount of the cost, making the monthly amount Employees pay for medical and prescription drug coverage for themselves and their families competitively affordable.
Employee Stock Purchase plan
With our Employee Stock Purchase plan, Employees can purchase Southwest common stock at a 10% discount through payroll deductions after six months of continuous service.
Time off
Employees enjoy time off for personal use, vacation, or for care of themselves or a loved one. The amount of time off varies depending on your workgroup and years of service.
