Learn about our culture & values, how we play as a team, and what we look for in future Databox Playmakers.
You’ve might have already come across that we call ourselves Databox Playmakers. How come? Boy, we’re glad you asked!
Just like the sports franchises figured out the importance of clever team names long ago, it is no surprise that many companies have also started using team nicknames to elevate their employer branding and encapture team spirit. And we jumped on that bandwagon.Actually, the term Databox Playmakers came to us naturally, and we all mutually agreed it best describes our way of work, our values, and our work relationships. Of course, simply naming our team is only a small part of employer branding, but it does embrace the shared values and desired behaviours that represent the core of our culture. What makes this truly powerful is everyone in our organization buying into the values and beliefs that were ‘put on paper’ by leadership.
At the end of the day, we want to represent ourselves in a way that reflects our spirit and how we work and grow as a team.
Before landing on Databox Playmakers, we contemplated other expressions as well. But if we take a closer look at the leadership principles and the established value set that drives our work, communication, team growth, and hiring strategy, it seems like the perfect spin was right in front of us.
Here’s why: a well-known sports analogy describes a playmaker as a skilful player and an important part of each team that helps them score during games. It describes someone who is often an inspiration and the driving force of the team, respected for their vision, technique, creativity, and ability.
“Databox Playmakers are skillful team contributors with a customer-first attitude, a strong sense of ownership, problem-solving abilities, and a goal-driven mentality that proactively seek opportunities to create value and aim to win as a team.“
So much like in professional sports, we are building our dream team at Databox and want the best playmakers in every position.
