At Polaroo, we firmly believe that Diversity is an engine for innovation. Different perspectives, ideas and approaches create the perfect environment for disruptive thinking, and that's why we promote an inclusive culture that cultivates plurality.

This approach has allowed us to achieve an excellent score in the Best Workplaces ranking, in addition to strengthening the cohesion of our team and improving business results.

The Polaroo Team's Commitment

This recognition is also a tribute to our team, without whose effort and dedication it would not have been possible. As our Head of Culture and People, Andrea Contreras Ojeda, mentions: “culture is not a service, it's an attitude”. And it highlights that we create culture together:

1) The values of the company at Polaroo

The project must promote values and a friendly structure, which understands that we are people and not robots. The values at Polaroo are: people come first, perseverance, proactivity, plurality, purpose and passion.

At Polaroo, people are our priority. We evaluate our success based on the positive impact we generate, both on the lives of our employees and on the Polaroo community. To achieve this, we rely on initiatives such as Magazine, Therapy Zone, the Cineclub, work flexibility and remote work. We are proactive, and we prefer to see challenges as opportunities for growth. We are not afraid to make mistakes, because we firmly believe that every mistake is a learning opportunity.

We are convinced that high-performance teams are distinguished by their resilience, and that their success is built on pillars such as trust, responsibility and solidarity among their members. At Polaroo, we foster an environment of curiosity and positivity, always with an innovative and human spirit. We believe that the results are simply the natural consequence of this approach.

2) The human talent and team behind Polaroo

The talent and culture team has to make a tremendous effort to always be up-to-date on how to improve and, above all, to listen.

If the team doesn't do its part, it's not possible to create the desired culture. In addition, Andrea highlights the fact that there are people who believe that culture should be established by the company, but it would be impossible without a team that makes efforts such as:

• Don't lose your mood in the face of challenges.
• Respect and value diverse opinions.
• Always keep in mind the common goal that unites us.
• Supporting each other, both in good times and in difficult times.

And, since culture is not something imposed from above, but is an attitude shared by all, each person at Polaroo contributes to building a work environment where trust, respect and mutual support are essential.

Looking to the future of business culture

This recognition as a Great Place To Work is just one milestone in our journey.

We will keep working to improve every day, because we believe that there is always room for growth. Our mission is to continue creating a place where all people can develop their potential and where success is measured not only in results, but in the well-being of the people who make our vision possible.

Thanks to Great Place To Work Spain for this recognition and for reinforcing the importance of creating business culture.
