Charter of Collegiality

At Yamagata Europe, we do not only spend a lot of time with our customers, but also with our colleagues.

When you spend an average of 38 hours per week with people, it’s a good idea to figure out how you can get along. More than that, it is worthwhile to see what your shared values are as a team and how you can work towards a common goal. When every nose is in the same direction, the team commitment is higher. And it is clear that higher commitment results in better work for our customers.

What does it mean to be a good colleague? How do we like to work together? What direction do we want to head in as a team? Based on a company-wide brainstorm, we wanted to introduce a stimulating set of guidelines for our employees. This brainstorm resulted in a set of 11 principles, which we now proudly call our Yamagata Charter of Collegiality.
