🎯 Culture Code¶
Why Culture Matters¶
Innovation is at the center of everything we do at brax. To deliver meaningful innovation, we embrace diversity—bringing together bright minds from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Our strength lies in this diversity, but our success depends on unity around shared values.
While we celebrate individual differences, we require alignment on core principles. Our Culture Code defines the essential values that unite our diverse community and guide us toward our shared mission.
Permission to Play Values¶
Our Culture Code is built on 6 Permission to Play values—the minimum standards of behavior we expect from everyone in our "free to create" environment.
These aren't aspirational ideals; they're non-negotiable requirements: - We only hire people who demonstrate these values - We don't tolerate employees who fail to exhibit these values - These values apply equally to everyone, regardless of role or seniority
1. 🔥 Intensity¶
Building something great requires hard work and a sense of urgency. We bring energy, focus, and commitment to everything we do.
What this looks like: - Working with purpose and urgency - Taking ownership of outcomes, not just tasks - Pushing through challenges with determination - Maintaining high standards even under pressure
2. ✅ Responsibility¶
We trust people who take responsibility for their actions and deliver quality work on time. Accountability is the foundation of our high-performance culture.
What this looks like: - Owning both successes and failures - Following through on commitments - Proactively communicating when issues arise - Delivering quality work consistently and on schedule
3. 📚 Devotion to Learning¶
Bringing value to humanity through innovation requires a curiosity mindset. We continuously learn, grow, and expand our capabilities.
What this looks like: - Asking questions and seeking to understand - Embracing feedback as a gift - Staying current with industry trends and technologies - Sharing knowledge generously with others
4. 🤝 Respect¶
Brax is a diverse community with people from different backgrounds. Being open, respectful, and open-minded is essential to fitting into our culture.
What this looks like: - Valuing diverse perspectives and experiences - Listening actively and empathetically - Communicating with kindness and professionalism - Creating an inclusive environment for everyone
5. 💡 Innovation¶
Constant improvement is essential for delivering quality products with a positive impact on society. We challenge the status quo and seek better ways.
What this looks like: - Thinking creatively about problems - Experimenting and learning from failures - Challenging assumptions constructively - Contributing ideas that push us forward
6. 🔄 Adaptiveness¶
Technology, market trends, and regulations change at a rapid pace. Adaptiveness is key to staying ahead and successfully tackling future changes and challenges.
What this looks like: - Embracing change as opportunity - Pivoting quickly when circumstances shift - Remaining flexible in approach while focused on outcomes - Learning new skills as the business evolves
When Culture Alignment Falters¶
We recognize that people are human. Even dedicated team members can occasionally lose focus, and sometimes culture mismatches slip through the hiring process. Technical excellence alone isn't enough—cultural fit matters equally.
We believe in second chances. People can change, and we've developed the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) process to address culture misalignment constructively.
How the CAP Works¶
The CAP provides a structured opportunity for realignment:
- Clarity - We clearly identify the specific behaviors and attitudes that need improvement
- Ownership - The employee creates their own action plan for change
- Reflection - The process offers space to reflect on whether the role is the right fit
- Support - We provide guidance and time to demonstrate change
This gives everyone a fair chance to realign with our culture before taking further measures.
{% hint style="warning" %} Important: While we believe in growth and second chances, our Permission to Play values are non-negotiable. The CAP is an opportunity to course-correct, but continued misalignment with our core values will result in separation from the company.
