Let’s talk team culture
Our team culture is deeply connected with our core values; compassion, integrity and respect. We have high expectations of our team members, but our team culture fosters this. We work hard but we have fun. We lean in heavily and authentically to our values. We leave ego at the door to nurture a safe space for honesty, reflection, growth and learning. We talk to one another - not about one another. We have courageous (aka difficult) conversations. We are not perfect by any means, but we show up each day for the right reasons and bring a smile to one another’s faces every day.
What do we look for?
Warmth | Empathy, kindness and compassion are key.
Vulnerability | It holds great power in building trust.
Intellectual humility | Able to admit one's mistakes and take accountability.
Courage | We lean into courageous conversations.
Passion | Dedicated to learn and grow.
Authenticity | Here for our community, not for ego.
Fun | The work is tough, but we bring fun into every day.
