<aside> 🧑🚀 Welcome to the most important chapter named Diversity & Inclusion. First, let us explain our purpose. Coody’s purpose, the reason we exist, is to revolutionize the consulting industry in our field. Diversity and inclusion are central for us to do so and are hence part of our core values.
Space fascinates us because it's the last frontier where we can truly let our imaginations run wild. Think of our purpose as our rocket fuel and our values as our navigation system. Our goal is to go where no-one ever has been 🚀
</aside>
While our purpose answers the question of why we exist, our values answer the question of how we get where we want to go.
We believe in an inclusive culture where everyone feels empowered to be and share their full selves, where everyone belongs. A culture where innovative, passionate, and playful people can grow, have fun, and do their best work. A culture that develops and deepens with every new team member but always stays true to our core values. We are kind and respectful 🖖
We value maintaining that relentlessly resourceful start-up spirit. Complacency is our enemy – we take smart risks and set the bar high as we continually serve our customers in thinking, building and tweaking. If the conditions change - we adapt and excel. We work hard to find the best way to get things done, even if it means we have to venture uncharted space. We are explorers 🪐
When we win, we celebrate the success together. When we fail, we celebrate the new valuable lesson we learned and the journey it took us on. Failure is a natural part of our process. It’s the best indication that we’re trying something new, that we’re reaching for what’s next. And an undesirable outcome doesn’t mean that the wrong decision was made – it means we took an informed risk, as you must do as an explorer. If it worked, we would’ve won big. If it didn’t, that’s ok. We travel on, keep trying, and give each other the freedom to fail again. We don’t fear mistakes but we refuse to repeat them.
Everyone on this space-ship called Coody have a voice and responsibility to help us navigate. When we gaze at the stars we all see something different and this is a good thing! We are co-creating the greatest high-end tech-consultancy in Sweden and we won’t know what that entails unless you tell us.
Your voices form principles that guide all decision making, serving as the route for us to follow to fulfil our purpose. These values help us build trust with customers, partners, and even amongst ourselves, ensuring that we are the same company no matter where our journey takes us.
A space-ship for everyone
At Coody we don’t only want you to work here, we want you to belong here. You are welcome at Coody for who you are, no matter where you come from or what you look like. We are not naïve. We are aware that bias is all around us which is why we are dedicated to challenge our own bias and maintain an open and safe space for everyone to voice their opinion.
So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the consulting industry.
You are not alone out there 🛰
If someone’s not well in life, they’re unlikely to be well at work. Being a consultant can at times be lonely which is why our door is always open. We are here to listen and make sure you get the help and treatment that you need. By talking about mental health, and being open about our experiences, we can create a culture where no-one suffers in silence and isolation.
We strongly encourage you to share how you are doing instead of hiding behind a happy face. We want to maintain a safe and open conversation to normalize the stigma on mental health. Everyone at Coody should without judgment feel safe to be their full selves.
We are committed explorers who are going where no-one else has gone before. To do this we need to work on diversity and inclusion through;
