Production
We build a better digital society by using our design & technology expertise.
We work on projects that address real, existing needs instead of creating them.
Our experts are smart, passionate and kind people who care about what they do.
We succeed by creating lasting, real value for our customers and employees.
A culture of respect, transparency and care create the best results.
We are peers working towards the same goals.
We strive to be among the best technology companies and workplaces on a global level.
The values presented here are general targets we believe to be essential. They direct both our actions and the way we present ourselves. It is our responsibility to keep the discussion concerning the interpretation and implementation of these values ongoing.
Being a value-driven community means that we are ready to pay the short term economic price to achieve what we believe to be the greater good in the long term. Profitability is an enabler, not an end in itself.
We recognise that in real life, values are always abstract and subject to interpretation. They become tangible in everyday decisions, large and small, made by all of us.
This document is a framework that can be referenced when making decisions and should be updated as long as we exist as a company. It seeks capture our collective ideas of what a modern company and workplace should look like. Your input matters.
Our four core values are: Independence, Purpose, Mastery and Quality.
All of them are important both in terms of the work we do and our daily interactions with each other and our clients. They are strategic goals and they all include examples of actions on how to achieve them.
We believe that following these values will bring value to the lives of our people and the businesses of our customers.
At Taiste, everyone has the power and responsibility to be proactive and make related decisions.
Everyone is an equally respected team member. No one is “above” anyone else. We are peers and treat each other as such. No discrimination, bullying, harassment or pushing around will be tolerated.
On the company level independence means financial stability and independent decision-making. This enables us to focus on what’s important in the long run.
We don’t produce digital waste. We seek to improve the world, one digital user experience at a time.
People are happier and do their best work when they have a strong sense of purpose. Since this is highly subjective, we invite you to think what this concept means to you.
Mastery enables efficient results and inspires a sense of humble self-confidence. It requires a mindset of constant learning, curious attitude and willingness to step outside one’s comfort zone.
The quest for mastery is not a continued sensation of not being good enough. Rather, it should be an inspiring journey of learning new tricks of the trade.
Our team of top level professionals always, at the end of the day, produces a high quality result. To achieve this, always caring about what we do is our guiding principle.
Our work ethic is that of artisans in the digital age. Careful, well thought-out and fine-tuned work should stand the test of time and be top-notch. Our processes always include double checks and peer reviews.
The equipment we use is always up to date and meets the standards for professional use. Our offices are well-equipped, ergonomic and inspiring.
Our work culture is built upon personal freedom, caring and emotional intelligence.
Our roles are flexible. New perspectives widen our expertise.
We work flexibly at the office, from home or anywhere we choose.
We take care of our team members and support their personal goals.
We encourage and support personal growth.
To ensure our new team members get up to speed as soon as possible, we have implemented a 4-week onboarding program.
All new team members are paired with a Taiste Buddy. The Buddy is a colleague with at least a year of experience in working at Taiste.
Together with the Buddy, the new team member goes through a number of checklists and tasks, including setting up the necessary tools and introductory meetings with various people in the company.
Work culture is not some static thing or collection of rules. Rather, it’s developed further every day by each member of the community.
It’s the small everyday stuff that create kind, respectful and supportive environments. Each interaction with your team members matters.
We have the freedom to work from anywhere we choose. Whether we’re communicating remotely or in person, the same basic principles apply: we’re respectful, responsive, supportive and caring.
A significant amount of our time is spent discussing ideas with each other. It is crucial to keep the tone respectful and encouraging, even under stress.
Never mock or downplay someone else’s ideas (google the “yes, and” principle). Remember that the time for constructive criticism is never amidst stress and deadlines. It is crucial to be supportive towards each other in all situations. That’s what creates both the best work and the best environments.
To support professional development, we commit to organising regular growth discussions with every team member. The goal of these is to provide a simple, proactive and interactive discussion forum. The discussions should always end up with concrete plans for the future.
Growth discussions strengthen our goal of creating a culture of open discussion and ensure that no one’s job satisfaction and career development is forgotten.
We have chosen a set of benefits that we believe to be central for a better quality of life. This is an always evolving collective effort: the focus is on what we as a collective find helpful and delightful.
