ACCOUNTABILITY
We do what we say and say what we do, holding ourselves and each other to the highest standards of integrity and transparency.
TechnoServe Culture
The change we seek to make in the world will only be possible if we continue to attract and retain world-class talent. We can do that if we create and nurture ways of working with each other that:
- Reflect our passion for service and impact.
- Demonstrate a commitment to our people, empowering them as leaders and investing in opportunities for them to learn and develop.
- Promote frank sharing of ideas and perspectives in a way that is respectful, inclusive, and productive.
- Encourage our commitment to excellence and integrity in our work and quality in the programs we deliver.
- Have a bias for action. Living our values requires us to make things happen and get things done.
- Enable smart, evidence-based decision-making and an ability to learn and change course in the face of new circumstances and opportunities.
- Cultivate inclusive and equitable workplaces. We adopt practices and behaviors to reduce bias and inequality and create supportive and safe environments for our staff and our clients.
- Celebrate success—our clients’ and our own. We enjoy what we do, have fun, and seek balance in our lives.
