YouScan Named One of the Global Most Loved Workplaces® 2024 by Newsweek! 🎉

We are thrilled to share some fantastic news with you all! Newsweek has recognized YouScan as one of the Global Most Loved Workplaces® 2024. 

This is the 2^nd annual Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list in collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company. After surveying over 2 million employees from companies ranging from cozy 30-member teams to mega-corporations with more than 10K, the results are in! 🏆

What Makes YouScan a Most Loved Workplace?

At YouScan, we believe that our greatest asset is our people. We are dedicated to creating a workplace that not only values hard work and innovation but also prioritizes the well-being and happiness of our employees. Here are a few reasons why YouScan stands out:

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 We trust

Trust is not just a nice word; it reduces unnecessary friction, allowing us to move fast and focus on high-value activities. Mutual trust means no need for micromanagement or tracking vacation time—we have an unlimited vacation policy to encourage recharging. 

With trust, we maintain internal transparency, openly sharing metrics and essential business information. This environment encourages everyone to speak openly about any issues or shortcomings without fear of ridicule or blame. 

Trust also fosters appreciation for constructive criticism and helps identify and fix problems early, benefiting everyone.

🧐 We make mistakes and learn

Progress is impossible without making mistakes, as they are a crucial part of the learning process when building new products and systems or entering new markets. 

We encourage our team to experiment, try new things, and make independent decisions without waiting for a perfect blueprint, knowing that this will sometimes lead to failures or mistakes — and that's OK. 

By mistakes, we don't mean sloppy work or mindless risk-taking; we value mistakes that lead to new learnings and experiences, which are then shared with the team and applied practically in the future.

🤩 We are enthusiasts

Working with open-minded and enthusiastic people is far better than dealing with energy-draining colleagues. Enthusiasm makes work easier and helps you see opportunities instead of problems. 

At YouScan, we offer exciting work to suit various personalities but understand if someone decides to pursue something they enjoy more elsewhere. Passionate interests outside of work make you more interesting and creative. We love that our team has diverse hobbies, from making music to hiking, and we aim to hire enthusiastic individuals who enjoy their work and life.

📈 We continuously improve

We've built YouScan with minimal external funding, focusing on doing more with less by being resourceful and finding smart solutions. We strive to improve our professional skills and processes to deliver value to our customers faster and better than our competition. 

We encourage critical thinking, do not tolerate suboptimal processes, and always seek more efficient ways to do things.

📊 We are a team that shares results

In business, cohesive teams win, and when the team wins, everyone benefits. Our diverse employees bring flexibility of thought and openness to new ideas. We avoid pitfalls like fear of conflict, lack of commitment, and prioritizing individual results over team goals. We encourage constructive disagreements, respectful criticism, and well-thought-out solutions. 

While we may not always agree, we commit to joint decisions, take responsibility for results, and hold each other accountable. We go the extra mile to help each other, collaborate with other departments, and prioritize work based on well-communicated company goals.

🔐 We treat data ethically

Social data is fuel for our product, and we treat it carefully. YouScan collects and analyzes only public data and does not cooperate with organizations that could use it for manipulation, surveillance, discrimination, or other unethical purposes. Our customer contracts prohibit such applications of YouScan technologies. When customers share sensitive information, like marketing strategies, we treat it as confidential and never disclose it to others. YouScan is GDPR certified for our data safety practices.
