Some of us drink herbal tea, while others don’t. At farbenmeer, although being hip isn’t a requirement, being human certainly is! We believe in self-organization, so showing our human side is all part of the deal.
Adapted from Fréderic Laloux’s idea of“self-management, wholeness and evolutionary purpose” we focus on intuition, initiative, networked responsibility, and full transparency, thereby bringing the entire essence of personality into working life.
Our salary committee discusses and jointly sets wages based on several factors, including experience and education, individual dedication, and any additional responsibilities. All salaries are transparent for both employees and applicants. We strive to offer fair compensation that supports a good standard of living.
We strive to completely dismantle hierarchies. We have no bosses, no authority to give orders, no pressure from above and no obstruction. We rely on self-organisation, thus creating a space in which each person can freely develop their strengths.
At farbenmeer, individuals proactively select a project based on their personal interests and enjoyment. This intrinsic motivation allows us to work with a sense of personal responsibility and self-determination, independently of time and location.
Conflicts are part of any interaction. We address them openly, respectfully and constructively. Through empathy, a sense of community and regular workshops on non-violent communication, we promote a culture of trust and appreciation.
Every team member is equally informed to enable them to make well-informed decisions for themselves and the company based on their own initiative and intuition. While colleagues are always available to provide advice, ultimately, each member is responsible for taking their own decisions.
Agile
We work in agile formats
We’re flexible, sensitive, and open to new challenges and changing conditions. We consistently reflect on and question our processes so that we can adapt to new conditions in a flexible manner.
We work on an equal footing – with customers, partners and everyone who shapes our business with us. We respond to the current needs of the market and people with modern technologies and organisational structures. We remain curious, think exploratively and find sustainable solutions – especially for novel problems and complex challenges.
