About The BIO Agency

What is it like to work for The BIO Agency

Wellbeing

The BIO Agency has an office dog called Philip. Research has shown that having a dog in the workplace reduces stress and this is certainly the case at The BIO Agency. Philip is a well-loved member of the team and provides an opportunity to de-stress during times of pressure. They offer some really nice perks, like a gourmet breakfast delivery once a week for the whole agency and personalised Hummingbird Bakery cakes on birthdays. After work the breakout space turns into a cocktail bar with one of the employees mixing a menu of freshly made cocktails. This boosts interaction and is a positive and rewarding way to end the working week.

My Team

The BIO Agency have regular offsite company meetings which involve breakout groups, feedback sessions and presenting back great and inspiring work to the company. They recently launched BIO DIVERSITY – an initiative to increase internal sharing and collaboration through lunchtime sessions putting a spotlight on different areas of the business. All of their employees have been trained in the last six months in Agile and Scrum methodologies, which ensures everyone at The BIO Agency is aligned and working in the most collaborative way.

Fair Deal

The organisation offers a supportive and encouraging environment for their employees, and recognises the importance of reward. At each monthly company meeting they acknowledge the key players on each project, as well as anyone who has gone above and beyond. They also run an awards ceremony each year with custom-made BIO Agency trophies focused around their core values, and present these in an awards ceremony. Following a pitch or when projects go live The BIO Agency organise lunches and drinks for the team involved to say thank you, and when employees produce outstanding levels of work (often giving up their own time) they acknowledge this by presenting them with extra holiday days or retail vouchers.
