What are our Cultural values like?

Culture is how we behave as an organization when no one is looking. It defines how we make our decisions on a daily basis and is a tool to assess team-fit. ● There is no such thing as a good culture or bad culture. ● Just like humans, culture often evolves over time, mostly slowly but sometimes rapidly

This document is about our culture. It will tell you what we value in our teams. People who identify with these values thrive here.

</aside>

• We are all owners, we act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just our own team. We never say “that’s not my job."
• If you find a problem in your department, act like an owner and take initiative to fix it (individually or as a team).

We love when our teammates feel a substantial, personal stake in Lokal’s performance and emulate the attitude of ownership.
