#### **Understanding the essence of Bitnoise's culture**
As an Office Manager, the topic of **organizational values** is of particular importance to me. At Bitnoise, a technology company, we bring together individuals working on various projects daily. Since we operate in a hybrid manner, technical personnel interact with certain team members regularly, while others only sporadically. We have opportunities to connect during casual encounters at the coffee machine, shared lunches, and company meetings. Being a diverse group, we spend varying amounts of time together. However, our shared values ensure that regardless of how well-acquainted I am with someone, I know I can approach them freely, and we will undoubtedly find common ground.

#### **Visualizing values through artistic expressions**
Bitnoise has been operating in the ICT market for 14 years, which has given us plenty of time to learn what is truly important. Our CEO and CTO are well aware of this, as they work closely with all departments on a daily basis. This allows them to constantly share the company's vision and listen to and understand what is important to the team. **By adopting an open-door policy** and fostering a culture of discussion, they create an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts. **Bitnoise Values** are the result of combining these core elements that have been important to us since the beginning, our years of experience, and our partnerships with employees and clients.

From my perspective, it is particularly significant that the values that the organization has lived by emerged before they were formally named. They hold such importance for us that they became the theme of our [company merchandise in 2022](https://www.bitnoise.pl/blog/bitnoise-kit-2022-edition)
, taking the form of wild animals through the talent of **artist Marta Szymańska**. This simple act allowed us to engage with our values not only in abstract terms but also in our everyday lives. It instills a sense of closeness within me and enhances my ability to identify with them.

#### **The essence of Bitnoise's culture**
Bitnoise's shared values are a few aspects of our organizational life that apply to all areas of our operations and to all individuals involved. They foster a sense of community and form the foundation of our organizational culture. We nurture this culture by effectively inviting people who value our guiding principles, people who possess similar characters or temperaments, to join our team. This does not mean working exclusively with a specific type of person. Instead, we view it as a compass that helps us maintain our identity. This approach benefits everyone involved: an organization that grows sustainably and continually improves the quality of its services, team members operating in a stable and predictable environment, and clients who can be confident that their expectations remain consistent even as the project expands and more Bitnoise members become involved.

I invite you to explore Bitnoise's values, and I will provide a brief commentary on how our team understands them:

- **Partnership:** We believe in delivering the utmost value to our clients and fostering personal growth, so we provide mutual support regardless of project assignments.

- **Development:** We create opportunities for personal and professional growth for ourselves and the organization. We support the development of our team members and strive for our solutions, architecture, and ideas to be mature, scalable, well-considered, and sustainable.

- **A safe place:** We trust each other and avoid imposing rigid rules. Instead, we flexibly balance our professional and personal lives.

- **Expertise:** We value each person's expertise and openly share our knowledge and experiences, which enables us to engage in meaningful discussions.

- **Agency:** Regardless of seniority, we have a voice in product and code solutions, as well as in the development of the organization.

- **Ownership:** We embrace the idea that projects evolve alongside us, and we take ownership of our work by proactively resolving issues.

- **Harmony:** We strive to create a harmonious work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. We work with dedication and professionalism, and we care for both individuals and the business. We support one another while respecting personal boundaries.

- **Intellectual courage:** We have the courage to express our opinions, knowing that we won't face judgment.

#### **Bitnoise's values: building a community**
I believe that values are the foundation of an organization's long-term success. Goals change, environments fluctuate, and people come and go. But by upholding our values every day, we can ensure that our organization retains its distinct character, matures, and evolves. This commitment allows us to deliver high-quality solutions and services to our customers and associates, who can have clear expectations about our attitudes and behavior towards one another.
