OFTEN, THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.

We believe in getting to the root of the problem and being creative in developing

solutions!

Page 13: The Socious Way Culture Code: How We Work & What We Value

While Socious is a great solution for many organizations.

Socious is not the right solution

for all organizations.

Page 14: The Socious Way Culture Code: How We Work & What We Value

WE BELIEVE A TEAM LEADER’S PRIMARY

ROLE IS MAKING THEIR TEAM SUCCESSFUL.

Page 15: The Socious Way Culture Code: How We Work & What We Value

Every team leader strives to help their employees be successful at

their job, providing necessary resources and removing

roadblocks.

Page 16: The Socious Way Culture Code: How We Work & What We Value

As employees, our team leaders should care about our values and

be informed on how they can help us do our jobs at a higher

level.

Page 17: The Socious Way Culture Code: How We Work & What We Value

Team leaders commit to living and evangelizing Socious’s values in their work and among their teams.

Page 18: The Socious Way Culture Code: How We Work & What We Value

MARKETS TO MAKE THEM BETTER.

well-being of our markets and we look for ways to accomplish that.

providing helpful advice online through social media and

networks, as well as at live events and conferences.

ROLES.

When something is wrong, we expect our colleagues to say so.

Conversely, when something is great, praise the hell out of it.

conversation with anyone else in the company regardless of their

role, title, or position.

in the way. Take a minute to understand where people are

coming from.
