And ever since the happiness development and contribution of every Workmate is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric collaborative culture is the essential mix of ingredients for success in business. That’s why we look after our people communities and the planet while still being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine however that manifests: you don’t need to hide who you are. You can feel the energy and the passion it's what makes us unique. Inspired to make a brighter work day for all and transform with us to the next stage of our growth journey? Bring your brightest version of you and have a brighter work day here.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections maintain a strong community and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways so rather than a number of required days in-office each week we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers prospects and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business team and personal needs while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote 'home office' roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
