At PeopleForward Network, we are intentional about meaningful work. Our Culture Code guides our behaviors and helps us to hold each other accountable.
We’ve crafted a culture code that not only guides our actions but also embodies the essence of LEADERSHIP. Each letter of this powerful word represents a core element of our approach, creating a workplace where joy, creativity, and meaningful work can flourish. Our culture code is a holistic framework that recognizes the interconnectedness of our professional success, personal well-being, and the impact we have on others. By embracing these principles, we cultivate an environment that nurtures true leaders and empowers every team member to excel.
Live work-life integration: We recognize that work is a part of life, not separate from it. By encouraging healthy integration, we allow for more authentic expression of ourselves in the workplace.
Embrace failure: We see failures as learning opportunities, not career-ending disasters. This mindset frees us to take calculated risks and innovate.
Ask for help: By fostering an environment where it’s okay to not have all the answers, we create space for collaboration and shared learning.
Design efficient solutions that scale: We encourage creative problem-solving and forward-thinking approaches that can grow with our organization and our clients’ needs.
Engage in work results vs time spent on work: We focus on outcomes rather than hours logged, allowing for more flexibility and creativity in how work gets done.
Require “hell yes” decisions or we say no: We believe in committing fully to our choices. If we can’t enthusiastically say “yes” to an opportunity or project, we have the courage to decline, ensuring our energy is focused on what truly matters.
Serve the greater good: We strive to make a positive impact not just within our organization, but in the broader community and world. This gives our work deeper meaning and purpose.
Have fun and celebrate successes: This isn’t just an afterthought – it’s a core part of how we operate. We believe in acknowledging and enjoying our achievements, both big and small.
Improve ourselves: We’re committed to continuous personal and professional growth. By constantly learning and evolving, we stay adaptable and bring fresh perspectives to our work.
Pursue excellence, not perfection: We strive for high-quality work while recognizing that perfection can be paralyzing. This approach allows us to deliver outstanding results without the stress of unattainable standards.
