Benefits & Perks

Hatched has been awarded again and again for our approach to staff wellbeing and our employee value proposition, from the AFR’s best places to work list to being recognised for People & Culture efforts by the B&T Women in Media awards.

Our offices in both Sydney and Melbourne are modern, fun and set up for both collaboration and quiet time. Our offices are dog friendly and close to some of the best that Windsor (Melb) and Surry Hills (Syd) has to offer; cafes, public transport, cinemas and importantly great bars and restaurants.

Over and above the great workspaces, Hatchlings get 5 paid wellbeing days per year and 2 days paid for volunteering. We offer flexibility, so you can work from anywhere, but we love to see you in the office a couple of days each week and every Tuesday for our all staff catch up. On the Thursday before payday, lunch is on us and we have another all staffer to share some more of the business type of news, or get out of our comfort zone with some interesting speakers from the industry and beyond.

Culture:

A positive and inclusive culture is something we pride ourselves on at Hatched. We truly believe that culture is everyone’s responsibility, and so all staff got together to create a set of F-Words.  They’re not swear words by the way! Our F words tell us how Hatchlings want to feel when they come to work.  We all agreed we want to feel connected, appreciated, inspired, supported and to feel pride in our workplace and the work we do.  When you walk into our offices you will feel the words come to life in the way we treat each other, kick goals and support each other and our clients.

Our mission is to be the agents of positive impact in the media industry.  And we encourage impact through 4 committees dedicated to creating impact.

The committees at Hatched:

• The Belongings and Connections Team are dedicated to initiatives for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• The Green Team keep us green, sustainable and moving towards a more environmentally friendly way of working
• The Shadow Board are a group of young stars who are empowered to be the voice of the agency and make recommendations for change to the executive team
• And lastly, the Hatched Social Committee plan the best events for our Hatchlings to keep us connected and inspired.
