The Culture we Encourage at Alecto

Our team culture consists of 6 basic principles and is reflected in the way we work:

Growth

• All Directors and team members will learn and develop new skills constantly to grow both personally and professionally.
• To grow as individuals, we are open to feedback from others and aim to engage in thoughtful and constructive dialogue as new ideas arise
• We aim develop a culture that is transparent and direct – but still respectful and courteous. If we can achieve this, the best ideas and practices will surface – and will grow.
• We will continually test and open new opportunities that expand on our core capabilities.

Meaningful work & relationships

Reflection
