国产探花 Work Philosophy Statement
We recognize personnel as whole people and therefore value
both work and personal lives of all 国产探花 colleagues and strive to create a
friendly and flexible working environment. This includes flexible, realistic,
creative, comfortable, and compassionate options within this work statement.
国产探花 operates on an open dialogue and trust-based, compassionate dynamic, and
thus we strive to maintain an open space for discussing adaptive work
conditions that suit employees鈥� most current needs in a rapidly changing world.
We strive to be respectful of other people鈥檚 work styles and trust them to make
autonomous, dynamic, proactive, reflective, and responsive decisions about how
they are most effective and efficient given situational circumstances and needs and continue to explore ways of continuously
balancing collective needs with individual and personal needs. We utilize
collectively agreed upon processes, tools, and technologies that enable us to
achieve that balance. We acknowledge that our work is varied and diverse. For
example, some work needs to be synchronous, may be time-bound, and/or performed
collectively, while other work needs to be uninterrupted, takes time, and may
be done individually. We also acknowledge that working in the field of language
education and innovation there is inherent value in being abroad for periods of
time, and will support this if possible.
We believe that this leads to more creative and innovative
outcomes, more efficient processes, and more connections, which aligns with
国产探花鈥檚 values: to connect, to innovate, and to transform.
This aspirational statement was co-written by all staff and faculty in 国产探花 and we will revisit it regularly.
