Building an Engineering Culture
You may have all the right processes and systems in place. But you’re still nowhere when you can’t find and keep the right people. People that use these systems and processes to create value. This is not just about finding the right people. It’s about creating an epic workplace, where people love doing their job.
We discovered early on that this requires attention to your culture and to the way you organize things.
Empowerment and Trust
At Xebia, we are firm believers in the power of mutual trust and empowerment. This makes us keen to promote a secure-base working atmosphere, where people can make mistakes and can experiment. Providing a ping pong table and a good lunch is not enough anymore to keep good people with you (if it ever was).
And in the way we organize things, we are constantly on the lookout for new ways to make it easier for people to do their jobs, making sure that all our organization processes are in service of people, instead of vice versa.
- We invest in mutual trust and empowerment and show the people we work with how they can do the same
- We don’t ask people to correct their mistakes but ask them to learn from them.
- We always make sure that we make epic shit. Together.
