Expected Behavioral Norms

RESPECT:  Be professional and mindful.  There’s so much to be proud of in our workplace—let’s show it. When there’s room to offer feedback, let’s be constructive about it. When a colleague deserves praise, let’s be loud and genuine about it. We can make our company even stronger by building each other up and practicing deliberate acts of kindness.

COMMUNICATION:  Be clear, stay connected.   Let’s leave nothing to interpretation. If we sense static, let’s commit to picking up the phone and talking things through. We can avoid communication breakdowns by being direct, transparent and respectful with colleagues; responding in a timely manner; and never leave each other guessing.

COLLABORATION: Put we above I. Let’s strive to break down silos; welcome input and ideas from anywhere and any title; listen and encourage all voices at the table; and work seamlessly across disciplines and as an integrated team to achieve goals and drive success.

ACCOUNTABILITY: Own it.  Let’s embrace our individual responsibilities, own our deadlines and never point fingers. Our workplace becomes even more rewarding when we share in each other’s successes and failures; run buttoned up, timely meetings; say what we mean and do what we say.

INCLUSION:  We welcome you—the whole you.  Your background, your culture, your ethnicity, your unique experiences, your way of looking at the world. We truly believe that your individuality helps us create a diverse, inclusive and inspired workplace in which every ethnicity, nationality, religion, elder status, family structure and gender identity is embraced and valued. We also welcome your passion for making the lives of children, your co-workers, and our company better. Because as different as we are, that’s the common theme that will always keep us moving forward—together.

CREATIVITY: Be bold, brave and unexpected.  Let’s push ideas until they scare us a little bit. Because it’s there, in uncharted creative territory, where we find breakthroughs that help our company lead vs. follow. Let’s keep exploring and being curious students of the world. Every day, let’s find ways to inspire each other, draw out cool thinking, and get behind great ideas that bring us all up. 

POSITIVITY:  Always see the good.  When we arrive at work, let’s check negative feelings at the door. The workday feels a lot happier and healthier when we each see the good in our peers, our work, ourselves.  Let’s work together to view challenges as opportunities and always know that the right attitude can change everything.
