We commit to supporting each other through flexible policies, collaboration, encouraging wellness activities and boundary-setting for a productive work-life balance. (2/2)

How does Marco Flores, Manager of Monitoring, Evaluation, & Learning, bring IbD’s #CoreValue of #Balance to life? He considers that “some conflicts can’t be resolved, but all conflicts can be managed.”

One of IbD's #CoreValues is #Learning. The people, places and animals we seek to protect demand a transformative mindset. We believe that learning is at the heart of how we improve, innovate, and grow as individuals and as an organization. (1/2)

We foster curiosity, embrace experimentation and failure, seek out a variety of sources, and are committed to evolving our practices to help our clients achieve the impact our world needs. (2/2)

How does Sara Kent, Sr. Manager, Operations, bring IbD’s #CoreValue of #Learning to life? “As a learning-focused organization, we share new discoveries with each other. We have the flexibility to seek out opportunities that meet our needs as learners & benefit the whole team.”
