Work Culture

At ICA, we value Open and Constructive Communication and Collaboration, a Respectful Working Environment, and Equity and Inclusion.

OPEN AND CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION

We practice open and constructive communication by challenging ideas—not people. We address issues and co-create across projects, involving each other from the start. We empower collaboration through open feedback and sharing information across regions and programs.

RESPECTFUL WORKING ENVIRONMENT

We enable a respectful working environment by acknowledging other cultures and regional specificities—treating each other with kindness. We remain accountable to each other and provide input and constructive feedback to the best of our ability. We consider other staff’s personal preferences, limitations, time and commitments.

EQUITY AND INCLUSION

We promote equity and inclusion by regarding each team member as an important stakeholder of the organization’s mission. We value interpersonal interaction and a diversity of opinions without silos, and we endeavor to create a space where all staff feel comfortable contributing their expertise and ideas to the organization’s work.
