Meet the Furry Fans of Tectalic’s Flexible Working Hours
At Tectalic, we believe in work-life balance, and it’s not just the team who loves our flexible working arrangements – our pets are big fans too! Whether it’s midday cuddles, afternoon walks, or the occasional video meeting cameo, our furry companions make flexible working truly work for us.
Introducing the Real MVPs (Most Valuable Pets)
From cats perched on keyboards to dogs snoozing through client calls, each of our staff pets has found a way to show appreciation for the flexibility that lets them spend more time with their human colleagues. Here’s a sneak peek at some of our beloved animals who remind us daily why work-from-home (or anywhere) is a game-changer.

Alfie – New Intern
Alfie, Phoebe’s new puppy, joined our team last year. If we need something to brighten our day, we ask Phoebe to show us the latest Alfie photo.

Jackson – Time Keeper
Mike’s cat Jackson enjoys his frequent appearances on Zoom calls to the delight of the whole team.

Neo – Personal Coach
Neo is in charge of fitness at Julia and Glenn’s place. If you are looking for a walking companion, Neo’s your man.

Potato – Head of Surveillance
Perched up high, Potato observes everything with quiet curiosity. He’s not one for chatter or cuddles, but if you come bearing food, he might just let you pet him.

Esme – Quality Control Officer
Jo’s cat, Esme, has a sixth sense for team video calls and always shows up when it’s time to check the work. She purrs approval or delivers a swift nip if she’s not impressed.

Jackson – Online Security Consultant
James and Jen’s poodle Jackson takes his security role very seriously. If Jackson has any concerns, expect a barking frenzy.

Missy & Oli – Support Desk Assistants
Judy’s assistants, Missy and Oli, sometimes help her with online training and troubleshooting.
Why Flexible Work is Better for Everyone
Flexible working at Tectalic isn’t just about working remotely or adjusting hours – it’s about creating an environment where our people and their pets can thrive. Our team is more productive, focused, and engaged when balancing their professional and personal lives. And let’s face it – having a pet curled up next to you while you work is one of the biggest perks!
So, whether it’s extra cuddles from a cat or the joy of a lunchtime dog walk, flexible working has benefits beyond the office. We’re proud to support our staff in creating a harmonious life that makes room for both work and play – for humans and pets alike. Our pets play a significant role in this balance, and we appreciate them.
