Sustainability / People / Work-Life Balance
We work for our employees
uabians way of life involves initiatives to find balance, meaning and success, both at work and outside of it. We know our employees spend significant amount of time at work today, and thus company must work for them also. We do this by finding healthy work-life balance, job rotations and giving opportunities that lead to professional growth.
The ideal of work life balance has been embedded in the interior design of our new Head Office:
The space has been designed to create an inclusive environment, spark creativity and make working more enjoyable for employees.
