Personal responsibility - Dialogue - Transparency Our employees take responsibility for their performance at work and for their own personal and professional development. They are supported in this by both their managers and colleagues thanks to a culture of open dialogue that promotes transparency and mutual understanding. Feedback and feedforward Feedback and feedforward mechanisms promote clarity and transparency in employees' everyday work and are a helpful addition to annual and peer reviews. By listening to others' feedback (response to past events) and feedforward (vision for the future), employees can improve their own self-awareness, identify potential areas for development and resolve misunderstandings as soon as they occur. Task – Person – Team – Company Whether we are looking to develop individuals, teams or an entire organisation, we must first consider our collective goals. Employees' personal needs must be aligned with operational requirements and any potential impacts on the team must be discussed. Moreover, the company as a whole must always be kept front of mind. The Task – Person – Team triangle forms the basis for our collective approach to achieving our business aims. Teamwork focused on skills In our large network, we all take on different tasks and roles every day, be it management, technical expertise, content creation, leadership or liaison. To ensure that all the different cogs work smoothly together, we spread the management load between different people, trust in our experts to make decisions and take collective responsibility for our actions. Flow Employees are best placed to fulfil their role and deliver their best work when they have the right skills for the job. Likewise, personal and professional development is at its most successful and fulfilling when there is a natural "flow" between an employee's job and the skills that they are developing. Development phases Continuous development along the Blum Path is essential for every employee and team and for the company as whole. Our development roadmap begins right from the very first contact – before a prospective employee even begins work – and continues even after they have left the company. We support our employees throughout this time and seek to cater for their different needs in each phase of their career and personal life. The Blum Path is based on six principles: Social responsibility Flow Requirements Task Person Company Feedforward Feedback Teamwork focused on skills Development phases Dialogue Transparency Personal responsibility Team 65
