## Our TeamSense Values

### **We operate as one team**

Everyone on our team has inherent value. We all work towards the same goal and we encourage collaboration to build the future of TeamSense.

We win together, we lose together. We take accountability without placing blame. We consider our employees and our customers to all be part of the same team.

Being a remote team has its challenges, but we navigate them together.

### **We embrace diversity of thought**

We let the most junior person speak first. We acknowledge that we don't know everything and we don't pretend that we do. We set aside time for different departments to cross-collaborate, brainstorm, and build ideas together.

We believe that diversity is more than just a check box. We are committed to building a team with humans who have diverse backgrounds and experiences that make us better. We want everyone to feel welcome on our team and celebrate the breadth of our team across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and life experiences.

### **We support our local communities**

We believe in the importance of making a difference and part of that includes teaming up with our parent company to participate in a Global 'Day of Caring' event.

For 2021, our team chose to support animals. We had volunteers virtually & in-person participating in a variety of ways from making shelter supplies to donating much-needed items and toys.

We also support Ada Developers Academy, a software developer training program for women and gender-expansive folks who also prioritize Black, Latine, Indigenous Americans, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander, LGBTQIA+, and low-income people.

Representation in technology is critical to building technology for all people.

### **We work hard to earn our customers' trust**

We have a relentless focus on helping our customers build stronger and more connected teams. We always seek to do the right thing for our customers, and we prioritize ethics over 'winning'.

We get direct feedback from customers, brainstorm ideas with them, and celebrate wins with them. We make sure they feel heard and our product works for them.

### **We celebrate the growth of our employees**

We are committed to a culture of continuous improvement and getting 1% better every day - as individuals, as teams, and as a company.

We develop growth plans with all of our employees and encourage open communication between teams. We have monthly retrospectives where we discuss what's going well, what isn't going well, and what we should change. We encourage time off and rest. Our leadership advocates passionately for our team.
