✨ Page Purpose: To create a single document for communicating the who, what, how, and why of ACEM's culture, so that we can easily align as an organization 💞

What is a culture document?
The culture document details out who an organization is, how an org aims to operate, and the underlying purpose/why bringing all the stakeholder together!
It outlines the Purpose (WHY), Mission (WHAT+HOW), & Vision (WHERE), and then the Values → Principles → Norms that everyone aligns as a way of working.
We believe a workplace can be a more natural, delightful, and even human experience & this document is how we align on both how we do this & why 🚀.
OpenNotion ’s Culture Doc guiding philosophy?
We believe that building structures, systems, and approaches that are aligned with principles, values, standards, and norms will create sustained value for all of our stakeholders! This helps to achieve one’s purpose, mission, and vision!

These are the foundational beliefs that we hold to be true!
We strive for individual accountability & fulfillment, interpersonal compassion, along with collective responsibility and alignment as an organization. In addition to the above values, the following principles help to guide our standards, our norms, as well as the other part of our organizational design and operating structures:
