As part of Shift’s culture-building efforts with La’Kita Williams of CoCreate Work, our team decided on a set of seven core principles that guide our collaborations, both within the organization and with our partners. In a series of posts, we will highlight each principle and resources for putting these principles to work creating more equitable outcomes.

Principle in Focus: See the Whole Person

“We believe that health, wellness, and a sense of purpose are critical to who we are and fuels our best work. We recognize that each and every one of us lead full lives — and approach each other from a place of empathy and respect.”
