Work-life Balance & Positive Team Culture

Professional development

From entry-level employees to senior leaders, we believe there’s always room to learn. We offer opportunities to build new skills, take on leadership opportunities and connect and grow through mentorship. From on-the-job learning experiences to formal development programs, our employees have a variety of opportunities to continue to grow throughout their career.

Growth mindset

We believe each individual has the capacity to learn, grow, and improve, and we hire employees with a growth mindset.

Bubs’ leaders judge employee performance based on their effort and creativity rather than on inherent traits or their willingness to support short-term thinking. A growth mindset also empowers employees to ask questions and offer up their own ideas.

Agile Work Environment

At Bubs, our employees need not practice presenteeism where they have to turn up to work just to mark their presence and merely be seen at their desk from 9-5. This ultimately results in increased productivity and enthusiasm. Our agile workplace provides opportunities to anyone who has the zeal to work, breaking the conventional ways of working in an office. Furthermore, it opens up endless possibilities to recognize the styles and needs of every individual. With different backgrounds and life experiences, we are able to promote diversity and an employee-centric culture.

Open Door Policy

At Bubs our open-door policy breaks down the accessibility barriers of the traditional chain of command and creates a conducive environment for open communication. It effectively allows employees to be more forthcoming about the work-related challenges and concerns they face.

Hybrid work model

To encourage work/life balance, a work from home (Tuesday & Thursday) is in place for employees who opt to work in this way.

This hybrid work model allows our employees have more flexibility to get work done when and where they’re most productive.

This also allows Bubs to hire talent from all around the globe. With access to a wider talent pool, it means we can hire people with specialized skills. This gives Bubs a competitive edge, helps us move into new markets, and ensures around-the-clock productivity.

Dress code

We have a relaxed dress code which allows team members to be individuals.

Adopting a more casual dress code promotes greater diversity, as strict dress codes often negatively impact minorities by fuelling stereotypes.

Dog friendly work environment (Sydney office)

Bubs recognises that our constant companions bring us joy, reduce stress and eases loneliness. So at Bubs we believe that pets should not only be in our lives, but also in our offices.

Dogs provide social support and comfort in a work environment. With just their presence they can promote better communication between employees which also helps to establish trust.

Dog-friendly work environments can also be a huge drawcard when looking at workplace culture. The positive and comforting environment a pet can bring is also a great incentive for employees returning to the office after a year of working from home.

Loyalty Leave

To enhance staff wellbeing and reward loyal Bubs employees, Bubs’ Loyalty Leave policy recognises the contribution and commitment of long-term employees and rewards them with additional time off to recharge annually.

Bubs permanent full time and part time employees are entitled to ‘loyalty’ leave based on their tenure with Bubs.

An annual entitlement to loyalty leave arises on the employee’s anniversary of commencing employment with Bubs, as follows:

• 1 year anniversary – 1 day of loyalty leave
• 2 year anniversary – 2 days of loyalty leave
• 3 year anniversary – 3 days of loyalty leave
• 4 year anniversary – 4 days of loyalty leave
• 5+ year anniversary – 5 days of loyalty leave
