WOTSO brought teams across 30+ sites together for The Kids’ Cancer Project’s Better Challenge, a 90km walk or run to raise funds for childhood cancer research. Jessie Glew, CEO of WOTSO, says the event builds healthy habits and connects staff across locations.

Organizations can sign up for the September challenge to fund better treatments for kids with cancer.

Jessie Glew shares findings from a recent pricing experiment the WOTSO team ran last month – and what it could highlight around how businesses are changing their relationships with office space.

The expriment? They dropped their day pass price from $66 to $22 each. The findings? Day pass revenue more than doubled (up to 6% of total rev) and the way people purchased changed (close to 70% were buying passes via e-com portal vs 30% the month before).

Also, a few businesses bought in VOLUME, with some grabbing up to 1,000 day passes.

WOTSO officially opened their Gregory Hills location. Now while their growth is impressive (this is their 8th location in Western Sydney, and 42nd overall), it’s the emphasis on where this location is that’s most interesting here.

It’s 60km (or 37ish miles) from the Sydney CBD, which according to Google is commute time of between 75 and 105+ minutes each way during peak hours. Thats driving or public transport. So Jessie Glew and the team are def leaning into their new Work Local mantra.
