At BUSINESS UNICORNS, we rarely use the term employee. We intuitively speak of unicorns and unicorns “our flock.” We are companions and fellow travelers. But certainly not employees, employees, or resources. The input of every single unicorn is welcome and every opinion is taken seriously.

Everyday life in unicorn

Home office, cool office & team spirit
A strong team spirit is important to us. You develop this (we are sure of that) away from work and everyday life. Chatting and drinking a beer after work is just as much a part of it for us as regular herd events. Events in and around the office are not mandatory, but unicorns are very happy to accept them. For summer parties or live cooking, people like to take a long trip to the office.In general, the office is open to everyone as an alternative to working from home. If you would rather work there, you can do so. We define two days a week as “main office days”. On these days, a number of unicorns are regularly on site. We like to use these days to have lunch together — either by the delivery service or prepared by ourselves.

Flexibility, Trust & Duties
We are convinced that unicorns do a better job when work and private life are compatible. That is why we rely on flexitime and, above all, on trust. Trust that every unicorn does its job to the best of their knowledge and belief. But also on the fact that every unicorn regulates private matters with regard to its herd members, customers and projects. No problem if the lunch break is longer or if the children need to be picked up in the afternoon. As long as the other unicorns are informed and you coordinate, herd life offers a lot of flexibility for everyone.

Working hours, meetings & communication
Work starts at 7:00 AM at the earliest, at the latest when LevelUp or Daily starts. In doing so, we want to achieve core working hours. The general working time is 8 hours a day, with a break of at least half an hour is mandatory. In principle, you can spend the break however you want — as long as it is legal — and can of course also be extended.
Monday, 9:00 a.m. — joint LevelUp:
We bring everyone up to date on individual projects and internal topics. Sales and marketing also share what they are currently working on and which goals have been set and/or have already been achieved.
Monday to Friday, from 9:30 a.m. — Dailys:
The ToDos for the day are discussed. Was everything done from the previous day? Has something been left behind or does anyone need assistance? Here, such questions can be resolved quickly. If this results in more extensive inquiries, smaller meetings will be scheduled afterwards.
That always works:
The whole team is always connected via Slack. If you have a question, you can ask someone directly or via project-related channels. Since unicorns sometimes need focus time despite their fabulousness, notifications can definitely be paused. By using appropriate emojis or calendar entries, it is clear to the other unicorns why they might not respond directly.
Per tip: Just join the “coffee call” and exchange ideas with herd members or simply listen, even if they get lost in project details... it's really interesting and you still learn something.

Vacation, family & holidays
We have 30 unicorn recovery days. Of course, it is important to submit vacation as early as possible for good planning. But it doesn't always work. That is why we also say here: Communication is everything. As part of the project team, we coordinate the vacation — ideally, they will already name their replacement when applying for vacation. Unicorns with school-age children or school service partners have priority during school holidays. “Between the years” — i.e. between Christmas and New Year, the entire flock is on vacation.

Values & Approach
Respect, appreciation, growth & learning, empathy, individuality and an open error culture are the values that we, as a flock, want for our cooperation and strive for.
Unicorns are emphatic. There is a high level of mutual respect for each other's work. In our discussions and feedback sessions, there is always an exchange of views on equal terms and other opinions are appreciated. Unicorns question themselves and try to understand the other person's perspective.
Mistakes can be discussed openly. Everyone knows that discussions are worthwhile and can lead to even better results. We are constantly evaluating our strategy and questioning our course and decisions in order to learn from and grow from our experiences.
Teamwork makes the dream work — ISSO!
Tiny footnote: Das ist hier alles nicht in Stein gemeißelt – geht ja auch gar nicht – ist ja digital. Man kann immer über alles reden. Urlaub, Arbeitszeit, Stallgeruch … Whatever!
