Ensuring Yubo's growth is not just a corporate goal; it's a commitment to Yubo’s team members and the vast community of users. Mc places a premium on creating a healthier and safer workspace, recognizing that a secure and supportive environment is the foundation of our success.

Yubo's fundamental ethos revolves around building a Social Discovery platform rooted in safety. For Mc, this philosophy extends beyond user interactions; it's about fostering a safe workspace internally. Trust, shared values, and commitment are fundamental pillars of creating a culture where everyone feels secure and empowered.

Mc believes in recruiting based on skill set, mindset, and expectations rather than geographical location. The result? A diverse and powerful team unified by shared values and seamless collaboration.

At Yubo, we are a team of doers who can elevate ideas, lead projects, and fuel innovation. Mc's leadership encourages a dynamic and forward-thinking atmosphere where each team member is empowered to contribute meaningfully to the company's growth journey.

The partnership between Yubo and moka.care is aimed at promoting well-being within the company, with a focus on safety, mental health, and creating a positive and unique work experience for each employee.  Within this collaboration, the objectives are clearly defined, aiming to provide access to self-care tools such as meditation and heart coherence for all employees, regardless of their location around the world. Additionally, the company aims to take care of its remote teams, acknowledging the specific challenges associated with remote work. Another key aspect of the initiative is the training of "Wellness Committee" members as mental health ambassadors. These ambassadors are now equipped to address the needs of employees going through difficult times and co-facilitate collective sessions in collaboration with Moka.care practitioners.

In conclusion, Mc's role as the Head of People and Culture underscores the company's dedication to individual growth, collective success, and a dynamic future in the realm of Social Discovery.

#Unboxing Online Safety: Yubo Partners with Internet Matters for a Festive Campaign

This holiday season, Yubo is delighted to announce its partnership with Internet Matters, a London-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing child internet safety advice to parents, caregivers, and professionals.Yubo is supporting the #Unboxing Online Safety campaign, a special initiative aimed at providing practical advice to foster better online safety habits in kids and teens, as they look forward to receiving and enjoying new devices and gadgets that expand their access to online communities. 

During the holiday season, from 11th December, Internet Matters will present a daily online safety tip for parents through a festive Digital Calendar. Yubo, as Internet Matters partner, contributed expert insights on maintaining open communication and effective supervision of children's device usage.

To add excitement to the campaign, there’s the chance to win a range of great prizes including a brand-new Apple iPad supplied by Yubo. By participating in the campaign, parents not only gain valuable insights into online safety but also stand a chance to unwrap a nice tech gift.

To kick off the #FestiveFortnight, Internet Matters is unboxing the crucial question: 'What makes an online friend?' In a world where children interact with multiple individuals online, it's essential for parents to initiate conversations with their kids about the qualities of a true friend. 

1. Talk with them about what it means to be a friend: Explain that online friendships, just like offline friendships, are respectful and filled with trust and kindness.

2. Explain the difference between an online friend and an offline friend: The information we share with our friends from school will be much different than what we share with friends online. Help them understand what should stay private.

3. Ask them to show you their favourite apps and sites: Explore the communication options and safety features, and what they can do if their online friend isn't treating them in positive ways.

The campaign emphasizes the importance of respect, trust, and kindness in online friendships, mirroring the values of offline connections.

This collaborative effort between Yubo and Internet Matters aims to empower parents with the knowledge and tools to ensure their children's online experiences are secure, enjoyable, and educational. Follow the #Unboxing Online Safety campaign for daily tips and the opportunity to win fantastic prizes. Let's make this holiday season not only festive but also safe and responsible for our young digital explorers.
