What's up dog?

At Works, the integration of dogs like Moose into our office culture is not merely a perk but a vital part of our ethos'enhancing well-being and symbolizing our commitment to a friendly, inclusive workspace. Moose, a happy Borgroodle, personifies this philosophy, having been an important member since his arrival 2.5 years ago. Moose excels by brightening our members day and acting as an enthusiastic receptionist who greets everyone with a warm 'G'day.' This not only uplifts spirits but also reinforces our community, transforming our space from a mere place of work into a vibrant hub of connectivity and support. The photo we're submitting, captured during a professional headshot session, illustrates Moose's essential role and our mission to be where 'your best work thrives.' At Works, we are redefining the future of work, offering flexibility and a unique environment where professionals can bring their lives'and furry friends'into a home away from home.
