The Guardians is a welcoming place for everyone, and we make sure our people feel supported, respected and part of the team.
Our people define our culture. Teamwork, respect and collaboration are part of the Guardians’ DNA.
Our values guide everything we do at the Guardians.
We are transparent and clear in our purpose and approach. We lean into the hard times and keep a clear head during the good times. In a world of sudden change there is often pressure to change our minds or yield to the immediacy of the situation. Our foundations are deep but not fixed. We stand strong, together.
We look out for each other and make sure we succeed together. Our job is often difficult, and we must respond quickly to disruption. We understand that our work lives are busy – we celebrate the good times and support each other in the hard times.
We take a long-term view. Every decision we make today will have an impact in years to come. In a world that is often constrained by short-term thinking, we rise above the noise of the present and consider the future. We ask ourselves – what would the future me think of this decision?
Success is determined by the strength of our team. We succeed and fail together. None of us is perfect, and our ability to pick each other up and learn from our mistakes makes us stronger. Teamwork is a force multiplier. Trust and communication are the cornerstones of our work.
The Guardians is dedicated to cultivating a diverse and inclusive environment where our people feel fully engaged and included. We pride ourselves on an environment where people are confident to be themselves, are respected and have a voice that matters.
