Why Values Matter at TESTIFI

At TESTIFI, values aren’t just words on a website—they’re the foundation of everything we do. From the way we collaborate remotely to how we interact with our customers, our values shape our decisions, culture, and future direction. They define how we show up every day, whether we’re connecting from Munich, Budapest, or anywhere around the globe.

However, values need to evolve as a company grows. While we had a set of core values for years, we recognised the importance of revisiting and questioning them. Were we still living these values? Did they still reflect who we are and who we want to be? This reflection led us to a dedicated values workshop—a process that would ensure our values remain relevant, authentic, and actionable.

Why We Revisited Our Values

Growth brings change. As our team expanded, working styles evolved, and new challenges emerged, it became essential to pause and reflect. During our vision workshop, it became clear that some values needed rethinking:

• Were we truly living them every day?

• Do these values reflect our current culture and aspirations?

• Are they guiding us in the direction we want to grow?

This wasn’t just a tick-box exercise—it was a deep dive into who we are as a team and how we want to shape our future. We wanted values that everyone could own, believe in, and practice—values that would hold true across cultures, time zones, and roles.

The Process: From Reflection to Recommitment

Our values workshop involved the entire TESTIFI team. Through open discussions, feedback sessions, and surveys, we explored:

• Real-life examples of how we see values play out in our daily work.

• Which values resonated most and felt authentic to our journey

• Which values are needed to evolve to better support our goals

This collaborative process wasn’t about creating something new—it was about uncovering what was already there, living in our interactions, decisions, and ambitions.

The Outcome: Our Refreshed Core Values

After thoughtful consideration, we emerged with a set of values that truly represent TESTIFI today:

🤝 Teamwork

We believe in supporting each other—our partners are part of our extended team. By enabling others, thinking systemically, and staying transparent, we ensure collaboration leads to shared success.

🎯 Ownership

Taking pride in our work, speaking up for our ideas, and committing to delivering value defines us. We follow through on our responsibilities, focusing on professionalism and business impact.

💬 Authenticity

At TESTIFI, you can be yourself. We foster honesty, encourage real feedback, and support a culture where vulnerability and imperfection are part of growth.

🌍 Diversity

Embracing different cultures, perspectives, and ways of thinking is essential to who we are. We thrive on continuous learning, psychological safety, and open-minded communication.

🎉 Joyfulness

Work should be enjoyable. We celebrate successes, create personal relationships, and infuse joy into our daily work because happiness fuels innovation and performance.

Why These Values Matter

These values aren’t just aspirational—they’re practical. They guide:

• 💡 How we collaborate remotely: Building trust, embracing diversity, and ensuring inclusivity across cultures.

• 🚀 How we innovate: Taking ownership of projects, speaking up for bold ideas, and iterating with authenticity.

• 🎉 How we celebrate and connect: From our monthly townhalls to virtual coffee chats, joyfulness remains central to our culture.

Most importantly, they remind us that our greatest strength lies in being true to ourselves and committed to our shared purpose.

Living Our Values Every Day

Reflecting on our values wasn’t a one-time event. It was a recommitment to live these values in every interaction, project, and challenge. Moving forward, we’ll:

• ✅ Regularly revisit these values in our townhalls, sharing real-life examples of how we embody them.

• 💬 Encourage open feedback on how we’re living up to them, ensuring they remain relevant and alive.

• 🌟 Celebrate moments when our values shine through in everyday work.
