### Recognition&#x20;

Acknowledging and appreciating developers' contributions and achievements through meaningful recognition, fostering a positive and motivating environment that boosts morale and engagement.&#x20;

### Team Collaboration&#x20;

Fostering open communication, trust, and knowledge sharing among developers, enabling seamless collaboration, and idea exchange, and leveraging strengths to achieve common goals&#x20;

### Learning & Growth&#x20;

Continuous learning and professional development, offering skill-enhancing opportunities, encouraging a growth mindset, fostering curiosity and innovation, and supporting career progression.

Typo bases this calculation on developers' responses to questions about culture & values such as "Do you get the training you need in your company?", "Do you feel your hard work is acknowledged by your team members?".
