Our culture is what makes working at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 special. 

There are three integral places where our shared attitudes and behaviors show up 鈥 the company鈥檚 values and practices, your team and network, and your experience day to day. Chief People and Inclusion Officer Shelie Gustafson shares what she loves most about working at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区. 鈥

Why is culture so important?

Culture is at the center of all that we do at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区. It creates a sense of belonging in which we feel like we鈥檙e part of something larger than ourselves. And when we incorporate our culture into everything we do, our clients notice. And when they like working with us, that creates loyalty 鈥 which leads to our growth and success as a company. I recently heard from an employee who has worked in several offices across 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 鈥 both in the U.S. and Europe. And he said our culture shows up the same, which makes it easy to work anyplace in the world.

What advice would you give to someone striving to be a better agent of our culture in their day to day?

We're stronger when we're learning from each other. Provide constructive feedback and be open to receiving feedback from others. When we鈥檙e all learning and working to be better 鈥 we鈥檙e collectively getting better as well.

You talk a lot about curiosity. Why is that important to you?

Innovative cultures breed creativity and progress. When we鈥檙e curious, we ask questions, explore new ideas and take calculated risks. This prompts people to dig deeper, engage more and generate groundbreaking ideas 鈥 which is all important for our culture and our company.

Who is responsible for culture?

Every person at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 is an 鈥渙wner鈥 of our culture 鈥 meaning we have a responsibility to positively contribute to our culture through our day to day actions and decisions. It is important that we all show up every day being our best and partnering with each other. When we show up for each other, we can do great things.

鈥淭here are a lot of reasons why I wear the 'J.' One of the things that struck me when we rolled out the specific logo of the J was that it was depicted as an upward arrow which stands for progress, potential and optimism 鈥 and I think that defines 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区. I love the optimistic attitude that we have as an organization and the belief that we can accomplish great things 鈥 and we鈥檙e all in it together.鈥
