Working at Positive Planet
Culture isn’t something we can set and define; we all contribute to the working culture at Positive Planet and the culture is reshaped with every new person who joins our team.
We must have a strong sense of the culture we want to create to ensure that new team members make a positive contribution to our working environment. Our values play a critical part in defining our culture so we hold each other to account when we don’t uphold these.
We want Positive Planet to be a place where you can be yourself. Work is sometimes hard, but it shouldn’t be like that all the time. Your happiness and well-being are important, so we try to minimise pressure and give you the flexibility to manage your work and personal life as you need.
Positivity is really important to us so we celebrate success and reflect on the good things that have happened rather than dwelling on the negatives. We believe that the team is stronger than the individuals and recognise that because we work disparately, regular communication and coming together as a team is really important.
We value people who solve problems, remove barriers and make a positive difference, rather than those who put up with issues and complain about them. People are our greatest asset so we are committed to investing in their career development and personal wellbeing.
