Work culture

We work a little differently at Cliniko. Here's how (and why).

    Authenticity has never been more important! This post describes why we believe in authenticity so much at Cliniko, how we try to achieve it in our workplace, and some reasons that it might work for your business too.

  • 5,118 reasons why our hiring process matters

  • Managing a remote team during COVID-19
