Meet Alfie, Ebet’s newest team member and self-appointed Chief Pawformance Officer. From boosting morale to keeping the office smiling, this little Brussels Griffon is proving that sometimes the best workplace culture initiatives come with four legs and a wagging tail.

If you drop by the Ebet office in Parramatta, chances are you’ll run into Alfie, Ebet’s newest and definitely youngest recruit.
Part mascot, part morale booster and full-time attention seeker, Alfie has quickly taken on the important role of Chief Pawformance Officer. His current responsibilities include smile inducement, tail wagging and strategic snack acquisition.
It turns out there’s actual science behind having someone like Alfie around. Research shows workplace pets can help reduce stress, encourage better communication and strengthen team culture. In Alfie’s case, he’s also become highly skilled at supervising meetings, greeting visitors and ensuring nobody eats lunch alone.
For those wondering, Alfie is a Brussels Griffon, a small breed with a very big personality. And if he looks a little familiar, there’s a reason. George Lucas reportedly modelled the appearance of the Ewoks in Star Wars on his own Brussels Griffon.
