Values

Communication
• We try to be as transparent as we can in our communications, at the risk of oversharing. We use technology to share information effectively and efficiently.
• We take the time to understand who we are talking to; we practice active listening so we can understand others’ points of view. Based on that information, we tailor our message and medium and confirm that our message is understood and interpreted as desired.
• We understand the value of feedback and we ask for it often and give it with respect and without hesitation. When giving feedback we go directly to the source. If we see something we think can be improved, we address it with the person who can make the change.
