Work Culture
More important than experience, Yunus Thailand is looking for the right character to join the YT family. Here are some of the principles we follow which give a good idea of the work culture we practice and therefore the people we are looking for:
- PURPOSE: More than a job, we are on a common mission to create meaningful impact and make a difference.
- EQUALITY: Non-hierarchy, some people have more experience than others, but everyone has ideas and are equal in the organization to share them. Sometimes less experience means new perspectives.
- ENTREPRENEURIAL: Pro-active and creative, we are constantly finding ways to provide value to those who we work with, whether that is social, environmental, or economic value to communities, clients, or partners. We also recognize we need to bring value to YT to sustain and then grow our impact.
- SOLIDARITY: We strive to create an environment where all our team members are supported not only in their professional growth, but also in overcoming personal challenges. We are there for each other through struggles or successes, and the strength of our organization lies in this solidarity.
- INNOVATION: We’re not looking to do the same old things better; we want to challenge the status quo and do new things in new ways.
- EMPOWERING: Learning and career development is an internal social mission, where members of YT should be supported to go on to do great things**.**
