Xero Work-Life Balance & Wellbeing

Work flexibly, thrive fully at Xero

Move beyond the 9 to 5. At Xero, flexibility is more than a perk; it’s part of how we support our people to do their best work, wherever they are and whatever life looks like.

How we work
Flexible working at Xero covers a wide range of formal and informal arrangements – including remote working, hybrid work, adjusted hours, and part-time roles – which help Xeros and their team find balance in a way that supports both individual needs and collective goals to better serve our customers. Plus, we offer a Work from Anywhere program that allows employees to temporarily work outside their contracted location (depending on team needs and role), with a 90-day limit in a rolling 12-month period.

Office access
Every Xero has access via an electronic key to our office hubs, which are smart spaces designed for collaboration and connection.

Keeping connected
We intentionally create opportunities for our people to come together and connect meaningfully. Our Xeros Connect program provides global organisational rituals that bring Xeros together through events like global all-hands meetings, hackathons, annual company-wide volunteering, Xero Day, Xerovision, CEO ask-me anything sessions (AMAs), and more. 

Xeros Connect also includes weekly in-office experiences – Boost Days – with catered meals and activities that support local small businesses. These events are core to our purpose and foster powerful connections. 

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
We actively invest in our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), providing them with dedicated space and resources to foster a sense of belonging and community, globally, regionally and locally. 

Async at Xero (AAX)
To ensure seamless communication across our global teams, we use Google Workplace and Slack, and have developed an Async at Xero (AAX), a framework to support working across multiple time zones and regions.
