We’re excited to announce an exclusive partnership with pioneering off-grid cabin company Unyoked – an industry-first initiative that advocates for ‘switching off’ by reconnecting with nature.
Supporting wellbeing with wilderness
At Hub Australia, we’re constantly looking for new ways to better support our members’ wellbeing. Our WorkWell program, which includes a range of events and activations at every clubhouse, is dedicated to professional, mental, social, and physical health. When we introduced it in 2023, we raised the bar for workplace wellbeing – but we didn’t want to stop there.
As part of this program, we’re delighted to announce an exclusive partnership with Unyoked, a nature-startup with more than 100 luxury off-grid cabins worldwide.
“Today there are greater requirements on employers to provide wellness and wellbeing support in the workplace because it’s no longer a benefit or perk – it’s an expectation,” says Rebekah Murphy, Hub Australia’s Chief Experience Officer.
“Businesses that find themselves tackling workplace wellbeing with a lunch time yoga class or a sad looking fruit bowl will find that it’s doing little to improve wellbeing. In fact, it’s probably having an adverse effect.
“Our mission at Hub Australia is to genuinely support the health and wellbeing of our members. Through this partnership with Unyoked, we’re offering access to opportunities and experiences that we know will make a tangible difference to their wellbeing.”
The need to disconnect to reconnect
Australia has one of the highest stress rates in the world, with 47% of workers having experienced daily stress last year and nearly half of all Australians feeling fatigued and burnt out.
A new Global Nature Study by Unyoked and AllTrails found that two nights in nature was 50% more powerful at improving wellbeing than other popular methods like mindfulness and meditation.
Plus, 95% of participants reported improved wellbeing by being connected to nature – along with a 16.1% decrease in burnout or work-related exhaustion after spending time in nature.
With a cult following centred around their differentiated experience, Unyoked cabins are the antidote to workplace stress – intentionally designed to help people slow down quickly and connect with nature in a tangible way.
Cameron Grant, Co-founder at Unyoked, explains, “At Unyoked, we want to help more people realise switching off is a critical part of being switched on, and to find how nature is one of the most powerful ways to do it.
“We couldn’t be more stoked with this partnership with Hub Australia as a big and meaningful step in that direction.”
From office to outdoors
Leaning on Unyoked’s expertise in stress relief, our workspaces integrate Unyoked wellbeing rituals into our day-to-day offering to members, encouraging everyone to take small moments to switch off, unwind, and tap into the meditative benefits of nature during the work day.
Examples of this in practice include sounds of nature playing at certain times of the day and bringing scenes of nature or greenery into our relax rooms to promote moments of calm.
This partnership also gives Hub access to 186 free nights stay in Unyoked cabins. So watch this space because we’ll be launching a member support program which offers members the opportunity to nominate their teammates and colleagues in need of a rejuvenation for a weekend in the wilderness as a special reward.
In the meantime, all Hub members can enjoy a 20% discount when booking an Unyoked cabin in any of their locations.
