How monday.com enables a flexible, people-first workplace with Uber for Business
Find out how monday.com partners with Uber for Business to improve employee wellbeing, while streamlining admin, to support its hybrid team across Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ).
Overview
Work-management platform monday.com is built on the core values of collaboration, ownership and transparency. This philosophy extends to its internal culture, which prioritises employee wellbeing and flexibility. During a period of team growth across the APJ region, monday.com needed a scalable way to maintain its cultural foundation through the delivery of meaningful benefits, like supporting a hybrid work model.
monday.com turned to Uber for Business to provide a unified solution for employee meals and team travel, both key elements of its commitment to a people-first culture.
When we first looked into Uber for Business, our aim was to find a solution that supported our flexible working culture. We wanted to remove any obstacles and offer a solution that employees genuinely love, boosting satisfaction and their overall experience."
— Caity O'Keefe, Head of Workplace Experience, APJ, monday.com
The challenge: supporting a flexible culture at scale
With employees in Sydney, Melbourne, and Tokyo, monday.com’s Workplace Experience team was looking to offer benefits that were inclusive and easy to use, regardless of location. The team wanted to address several key people objectives through these benefits:
Create a positive employee experience: monday.com wanted to offer benefits that employees would love to use, increasing satisfaction and supporting them whether they were in the office, at home, or travelling for work.
Reduce administrative friction: The team wanted to eliminate the time-consuming process of manual expense claims for meals and travel, which can turn perks into burdens.
Offer genuine flexibility: Previous solutions were often tied to specific vendors or office locations which didn’t align with monday.com’s hybrid working model.
The solution: a unified platform for Uber Eats and rides
Uber for Business offered a single, intuitive platform to manage a monthly meal credit for all employees and a central account for business-related travel. Key benefits of the partnership include:
Meal perks for different needs: Employees can use their meal credits for lunch at the office, dinner when working late and even for grocery deliveries, all while using an app they already know for easy onboarding.
Tracked and controlled costs: The Uber for Business dashboard provides real-time visibility into all trips and orders, consolidating invoicing and giving the Workplace Experience team access to usage and spend data.
Enhanced employee wellbeing: monday.com's people have now got access to perks they love, without having to worry about painful manual expense processes. This keeps the team focused on what matters, whether they're collaborating on a project or travelling to meet clients.
Providing more sustainable options: A key added value of the Uber for Business platform is it allows the Workplace Experience team to encourage and track the use of Electric or Comfort Electric vehicles, aligning the Uber for Business programme with monday.com's sustainability goals.
Being able to quickly order groceries or a meal means I can jump straight into later calls or finish work without worrying about food, knowing that dinner is sorted. It allows me to stay focused and present myself professionally, while also protecting my personal time. It’s a benefit that genuinely makes me feel supported."
— Paris Franke, Events and Production Lead, APJ, monday.com
The results: a benefit that speaks for itself
Since the partnership’s launch in 2021, Uber for Business has become a cornerstone of monday.com’s employee benefits package. The platform has successfully scaled to support over 200 users across Australia & Japan, with overwhelmingly positive staff feedback.
Uber for Business has been an absolute game changer for us. Being able to get an Uber Green for a meeting without worrying about tracking expenses saves the team so much time; it allows us to stay focused on our customers rather than admin."
. — Andrew Martin, RVP Consulting, monday.com
Main results include:
High adoption and engagement: Employees have placed over 24,000 orders, including over 3,000 grocery orders, demonstrating the hybrid team’s appreciation of the meal programme’s flexibility.
