LAST UPDATED NOVEMBER 2023
We strongly believe that everyone at Distinctly should enjoy their work and feel fulfilled. At times, this may take persistence but be willing to learn and to improve – which will involve allowing yourself to fail too. No-one is the best they can be without failing and remember, practice makes perfect!
One of the simplest things that we can all do is come to work every day with a positive attitude. Can-do is the only way we know. Yes, of course, there may be bumps in the road, but as a team we are there to support you through the highs (and the occasional lows).
Everyone at Distinctly needs to take personal accountability for their actions and decisions. You have control over your choices and the consequences they bring, which is crucial for your professional success and development.
We believe passionately that collaboration is pivotal to our success. There’s no room for an individualistic ethos within our work and you will note in our reviews that we encourage collaboration, communication and a supportive environment throughout the team.
We expect everyone in the team to have a thirst for knowledge and to learn every day. As part of the review process, everyone has a learning objective which is just as important as your work-based objectives. Every week we ask everyone to share articles of their choice on slack, with notes on key outtakes.
Personal development time is built into everyone’s work schedules so make sure that you make the best use of that time.
A key part of our success is our ability to get the job done. We are always looking to improve our processes and efficiency. We encourage everyone to feed back on how we could do things better so please do feel that you can make suggestions to your line manager.
Learning and development are embedded in our culture. Everyone is encouraged to attend external training courses and conferences regularly throughout the year. We will recommend some of these to you but also encourage you to seek out courses that you are interested in. There are also internal training sessions available to everyone on the team and on occasion we invite external trainers in for sessions on specialist subjects.
