Wellness, development and social perks

Wellbeing

Our wellbeing and self-care initiatives are some of the most popular team perks. In 2020 - 2021, we invested over $40,000 in programs promoting better self-care and each year we look at new ways to support our employees. Choose to make use of one or all of the wellness perks to support your work and life.

Symbio Flex

Full-time employees are only required to be in office 2 days per week. Work with your manager on bespoke working arrangements to suit your lifestyle.

Vaccinations

Teaming up with Australian Vaccine Services (AVS) receive elective annual flu shots and company-funded COVID-19 Vaccination leave.

Wellness workshops

The Symbio calendar of learning & development courses includes wellbeing focused workshops. We cover topics like sleeping patterns, stress and nutrition.

Work life balance

Symbio Flex is only one part of the flexibility equation. The team’s adaptive mentality allows balance between personal and professional life.

Parental leave

On top of the Australian government’s parental leave offering, Symbio offers an additional 12 weeks of fully paid leave for primary carers.

Employee assistance

Access voluntary, confidential counselling services with top psychology partners free of charge.

Grow with us

It is human nature to think to the future, to ask ‘what’s next?’ and desire to move forward. We define clear pathways toward growth and also offer the freedom to self-define, drive and customise the direction of your journey through multiple learning and development resources and growth initiatives.

New manager workshops

As members of the Institute of Managers & Leaders, Symbio gives you access to exclusive resources including our ‘New Managers Workshop’ toward supporting your upward trajectory.

CEO fireside chats

Our CEO cares about feeling the pulse of the organisation through employees. By invitation only, employees, get an hour to chat with the CEO. It’s a unique opportunity to uncover his ideas, tips and tricks.

Bespoke high potential development programs

We identify, develop and reward employees through our Quantum and All Stars programs. These programs reward skills in critical areas and recognise top performers and potential successors.

Thriving teams

Our Thriving Teams Workshops build collaborative, aligned and productive teams.

On demand courses

Our Learning Management System is an online platform providing access to courses at any time to support your growth.

Mentoring programs

Knowledge sharing is a key to our team’s success – team members can electively join mentorship programs to target a specific learning outcome.

Social perks

Work is better when you can make real connections with your team. A schedule of Symbio social events, team led clubs, volunteer days and birthday leave make it all the more easier to build relationships with colleagues and community.

Symbio social events

Each year, we have an exciting calendar full of social events for our team to take part in. Previous events include everything from dragon boat racing on Sydney Harbour to online Chess tournaments, along with A Taste of Harmony, where employees brought in foods that reflect their cultural origins. In addition, we get together every Friday in our social space in the office to catch up over drinks.

Join a club

At Symbio, there’s endless ways to meet people and connect with the wider team. We have different clubs available to join, as well as MS Teams groups to participate in. Some of our current MS Teams groups include the Jokes, Pets, Gaming, Veggie Patches and Recipe channels, where you can post photos, share ideas or just have a chat about your out of work interests.

Volunteer day

Take advantage of our annual volunteer day to help out with a charity of your choice or join a volunteer day with one of our partners. One of our previous volunteer days was spending an afternoon at Ronald McDonald House, where duties included cooking up a Mexican feast, arts and crafts with the children and face painting.

Birthday leave

Have plans for your birthday? Craving a long weekend to celebrate? Or just wanting to stay at home with your family? At Symbio, you can! You get to enjoy a paid day off on a date of your choice during the month of your birthday.
