We Celebrated Another Year as an Employee-Owned Company

Since 2017, AVID Products has been 100% employee-owned, a characteristic that drives everything we do. From our partners to our customers to each other, we treat everyone as an important part of the AVID team.

We Put a Spotlight on Wellness

During National Wellness Month, we took some time to focus on well-being and a few of our employee-owners gave us a look at ways audio promotes their wellness goals. We also took part in a Workplace Wellness Experiment with our friends at FocusCalm. Read more about our experience

We Welcomed a New Team Member

The AVID team grew with the addition of Justin Kahle as a Sales Executive who focuses on our learning product portfolio and partners. Welcome Justin!

The committee is tasked with keeping up to date on ESOP news and informing the rest of the AVID team throughout the year.
