Fundamental Cultural Priorities:
Teamwork Over Speed
We understand that genuine success isn't solely about quick movements; it's about progressing as a team. By partnering closely, we don’t settle for temporary fixes — we develop innovative, lasting solutions that endure.
Together, we create something far more impactful than we could achieve individually.
Best Solution Over Personal Ideas
It's not about whose idea gets the most attention; it's about identifying the best solution. We set aside our egos, recognizing that true innovation arises from merging our strengths and perspectives. Our emphasis is on what truly counts — crafting solutions that advance our collective vision, regardless of the source of the idea.
What behaviors we seek, and embrace!
Infusing Passion into Our Work.
We believe that those who truly enjoy their work are the ones who thrive in their professions. Passion ignites curiosity, encourages the honing of skills, and fosters a dedication to ongoing growth.
Embracing "I Don’t Know"
We view admitting "I don’t know" as a sign of strength and a commitment to growth. When someone expresses uncertainty, it’s not a stopping point—it’s an opportunity to discover and learn something new together.
Open Idea Sharing
Every idea, no matter how initial or unrefined, has the power to inspire something amazing. We don’t wait for flawless solutions; instead, we celebrate the willingness to express your thoughts candidly with the team.
What behaviors we avoid, and dont accept:
Dramatic Behavior
We foster a culture of open communication and collaboration, and we do not tolerate dramatic behavior that disrupts our positive environment. Such behavior can hinder teamwork and erode trust, which are vital to our success. Instead, we encourage constructive dialogue and a focus on solutions, ensuring that everyone feels valued and heard.
Putting Me Before the Team
When you prioritize your own interests over the contributions of others, you're not just diminishing their efforts—you're undermining the trust and integrity that form the foundation of our culture. We don’t accept this behavior, as it contradicts our values. Our success is a collective achievement, and we celebrate as a united team.
Concealing Issues
We do not accept the practice of concealing issues, as it prevents us from collaborating on effective solutions. We believe that addressing problems openly encourages the entire team to come together for resolution. We appreciate the courage it takes to say, "Here's what's not working," as it is the crucial first step toward finding a fix.
The Empathetic Culture - How do we foster we over me?
We create an atmosphere of safety by cultivating trust, embracing inclusivity, and focusing on understanding each individual. We encourage everyone to express their thoughts and ideas, including those that might seem unconventional. We believe that the most innovative ideas often emerge from unexpected sources. In our environment, every contribution is met with respect and curiosity—no one is ever ridiculed for sharing their insights.
How do we support each other's learning and growth?
We support each other's learning and growth by cultivating an environment of collaboration and continuous feedback. We encourage open conversations, where team members can share their experiences, insights, and challenges.By celebrating successes and learning from setbacks together, we create a culture that values personal and professional development. This collective approach empowers everyone to reach their full potential and thrive as individuals and as a team.
Townhalls
Townhalls are sessions that bring the teams together to generate new ideas or and exchange insights. These roundtables empower every team member, regardless of their position, to present ideas, suggest improvements, and participate in meaningful feedback.
Recognizing Success
We take the time to celebrate all achievements, regardless of their size. From discovering innovative solutions and reaching key targets to welcoming new team members and honoring those who embark on new journeys, we recognize and appreciate every success along our path.
Honoring Talent
We emphasize the importance of acknowledging the unique skills and talents within our team. Whether in daily operations or during celebrations, we ensure that individuals who make meaningful contributions receive the recognition they deserve.
Our Decision-Making Approach
At Deca People, we believe that collaborative decision-making leads to the best outcomes. We actively invite input from team members who are closest to the issues at hand, creating a space where everyone feels encouraged to share their thoughts and concerns. When differing opinions arise, we engage in open dialogue, fostering a caring atmosphere where we harness our collective energy to find the most effective solutions. Once a decision is reached, we commit fully as an ambitious team, ready to move forward together.
At Deca People, we prioritize thoughtful decision-making, taking the necessary time to carefully consider all available options. By exploring diverse perspectives, we ensure that our reflections are comprehensive before arriving at final choices. We recognize that challenges are an inevitable part of our journey; however, we view our missteps, errors, and failures as valuable investments in our future. Each situation provides an opportunity to adapt and learn, allowing us to emerge stronger and more resilient than before.
To maintain accountability, we designate a responsible person for each decision, ensuring that tasks are completed effectively and nothing is overlooked.
Cultivating Value and Learning Through Efficient Collaboration!
Meaningful Collaboration
We believe that every meeting should contribute value to our objectives and foster a culture of learning. If a meeting doesn’t serve this purpose, we reevaluate its necessity. Team members arrive prepared, fully aware of the meeting’s objectives and how their insights contribute to our collective success. A meeting facilitator manages the agenda, ensuring the discussion remains focused and actionable.
Continuous Alignment
Our periodic sync-ups are designed to maintain alignment and encourage shared learning. These sessions ensure that everyone is informed about ongoing projects, understands expectations, and knows how we are progressing toward our goals. By dedicating this time we create a supportive environment where knowledge is shared, and team cohesion is strengthened.
Efficient Meetings
We prioritize brevity in our meetings to maximize efficiency and impact. Each session has a clear purpose and is structured to drive progress rather than simply occupy time. By keeping meetings concise, we enable swift decision-making and encourage open dialogue, ensuring that every participant has the opportunity to contribute to our collective learning and growth.
Our Expectations to you as a Decasapiens
At the heart of our culture lies trust, independence, and clarity in expectations. We empower our team members to take initiative and make informed decisions while also recognizing the importance of seeking guidance when needed. Whether it's navigating daily tasks, making choices, or collaborating with others, we all adhere to the core values that define Deca People.
We emphasize the importance of integrity in every action and encourage thoughtful consideration in decision-making. It’s vital to always think about the impact on the company, the team, and our shared mission. When obstacles arise, we trust you to exercise your judgment, with the understanding that you have the freedom to choose wisely. This freedom carries the responsibility of owning outcomes, both positive and negative, and using each experience as a stepping stone for growth and improvement.
