About You:
These are the values we look for in all our team members at YEA
- Trust – Trust is the most important aspect we have at YEA, this is especially true because we are a remote business. Our customers trust us with their businesses and YEA trusts you to treat the remote working and flexibility with respect. Trust is assumed at the start but is lost easily
- Empowered – Everyone is important, everyone has suggestions and everyone will be listened to. Everyone who works here has a valid opinion on how we should improve processes and make things better. The best ideas are generated by the people who actually do the work
- Highly Functioning – A team of high functioning generalists who have an understanding of every part of the business. This is so everyone is agile enough to deal with problems or issues when they arise
- See it, fix it – If a problem arises, you deal with it. If you need someone else to help on the problem, then the problem is still yours to follow up on and ensure that it is fixed. We do not just allocate to someone else and forget about it
- Imagine there is no review – Everything you send either internally or externally needs to have been checked. Do not settle for good enough or assume someone else will pick it up in review. Imagine everything you send will be sent to a customer
- Respect and Kindness – On a personal and business level we should be kind to each other. We want a to grow a team which helps each other when the times are tough and have each other’s back. We do not dismiss other’s opinions regardless of job title or qualification. We do this so this is a great place to work and it is the right thing to do
- Collaboration – We cannot work alone to solve problems, we need to work together to solve problems and deliver great customer service. We work with empathy; if someone is struggling we step in
- Continuous Improvement – Change can be assumed to be constant. There is no perfect process. We will always be changing process to improve customer service, and operational efficiency. Any change is not permanent, just because we have spent time solving an issue doesn’t mean that the solution is perfect and we should always look to improve and refine
- Efficiency – We are a business which is built on operational efficiency. We will look to automate where we can, use software to save time and review our processes. Our aim is to produce as much as possible with the least possible effort
