It includes collaboration, open communication, respect, innovation, diversity, and inclusion, fostering creativity, productivity, and satisfaction among developers.
Culture & Values covers the following sub-focus areas- ### Psychological Safety Creating an environment where developers feel safe to express their opinions, take risks, and share their ideas without fear of judgment or negative consequences. ### Recognition Acknowledging and appreciating developers' contributions and achievements through meaningful recognition, fostering a positive and motivating environment that boosts morale and engagement. ### Team Collaboration Fostering open communication, trust, and knowledge sharing among developers, enabling seamless collaboration, and idea exchange, and leveraging strengths to achieve common goals ### Learning & Growth 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?".
