Our Core Values
According to our core values, this is the very first thing we look for in people — ahead of ownership or speed.
What is being a good human?
A minor, first-time issue like tone or lateness is usually handled directly by this person — no HRBP or Legal needed.
The manager
The opposite of owning it is reaching for this classic three-word excuse.
What is "that wasn't me"?
If you witness harassment or discrimination, this is the one correct move — not handling it yourself.
What is reporting/escalating it?
This is the platform employees use to submit and manage all business expenses.
What is Airbase?
This principle means leading with openness about how and why decisions get made.
What is transparency?
Owning a mistake isn't just fixing it — it's doing this afterward so it doesn't happen twice.
What is changing your approach / learning from it?
This role owns leading the investigation once harassment or discrimination is reported.
What is HRBP?
This is the name of Imply's anonymous hotline and online tool for reporting concerns without giving your name.
What is Talk to Spot?
"Do the right thing" is easy when it's convenient — this value asks you to do it even when it's hard.
What is hard/difficult?
When a decision goes wrong, this comes before anything else — not deflecting blame.
What is accountability?
This term describes when your personal interests and the company's might not line up — and it has to be disclosed.
What is a conflict of interest?
Our discrimination and harassment policy has zero tolerance for this, whether it's intentional or not, in-person or virtual.
What is discrimination, harassment, or bullying?
Before assuming the worst about a coworker's behavior, being a good human means doing this first.
What is listening?
Before accepting a gift from a vendor or supplier, this is required first.
What is manager approval?
The moment a situation touches harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, a manager's job shifts from "handle it" to doing this.
What is escalating immediately and staying out of the investigation?
This two-word pairing — respect plus this — forms the foundation of how we treat people here.
What is integrity?
This principle protects someone who reports a violation in good faith from facing punishment for speaking up.
What is non-retaliation?
This policy protects any team member who reports unethical or illegal activity in good faith from facing payback for speaking up.
What is the Whistleblower Policy (non-retaliation)?
