THE OCTOPY EMBODIMENTS
The Octopy Embodiments
Company culture is core to an organization's identity. It's how we agree to approach everything- our relationships, product development, copywriting, marketing, hiring & firing, benefits, training, etc. At Octopy, we are focused on creating a sense of safety within our team and with our clients, where practicing our Core Tenets is made easier by a mindset that supports these principles. These Embodiments are our commitment to you and to each other about how we approach work and play together.
