Benefits at Yoyo

We believe that a great workplace is built on trust, support, and a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of our team. This benefits package reflects our promise to be a flexible, caring, and responsible employer — one that values not just the work you do, but the whole person you are.

We’ve designed our benefits with real life in mind, supporting you across every stage of your journey — in your health and wellbeing, your time away from work, your financial goals, and your personal and professional growth. Whether it’s flexible working, access to mental health support, or opportunities to develop your career, our aim is to help you thrive.

We're proud to offer a supportive environment where you can do your best work, feel valued, and know that your wellbeing matters.

Most of our benefits are accessible as soon as you have passed your probation with a few exceptions. Please refer to the individual policies for more details.
