TRIBU, A COMPANY WITH VALUES
Best things often happen when you least expect them. It is also what happened with Tribu. The original idea was to please my grandma and to recreate links within the family.
Tri-what?
When my grandpa died, I was really scared that my grandma would feel alone. As a matter of fact, I decided to send her personalised postcards in order to share with her my best family moments. Those postcards made her feel so happy, so I decided to go further. Then I started to unite the whole family pictures that I had in order to create, each month, a personalised journal that she even decided to recall as “my small tribe”. She was so proud of her grandson that her friends were very jealous of her. (she never stopped talking about this excellent idea). This is how Tribu was founded.
When I saw that my grandma was super happy when she was receiving her journal, I told myself that it would be a great idea to expand it to other grandparents that would love to have some news of their children. So I decided to go on and launch Tribu in 2016, with the help of my colleague Mathieu.
A great adventure, but..
It was really important to us that Tribu be a unique company that defends values that are extremely important to us. And it never changed, the values we praise are family, fun and sincerity.
How are those values reflected within the company?
Family: the globality of our co-workers grants a lot of importance to family. Within a family, we do not judge, we accept differences and we’re caring for each other. It’s the same things within Tribu, we have the same relationships of our family in our everyday life at Tribu. During recruitment, all employees participate in the decision-making process so that everyone feels concerned and comfortable with the decision that has been made. Working hours are flexible and everyone can leave his work in order to mix his professional and personal life. Finally, while discussing with our customers, we always want that these exchanges take place in a caring, honest and family atmosphere.
Fun: the important thing at Tribu is to thrive, try new things and not being afraid to go back while needed. It is also essential that every co-workers feels great and enthusiastic regarding the future challenges. To dare: this is what counts at Tribu. Humour is an integral part of the Tribu experience, whether in our offices, in the way we communicate or in our interactions with our customers.
Sincerity: being loyal to oneself in order to stay loyal towards others. Sincerity belongs to transparency. We’re honest towards each other whether towards our customers, our suppliers, our collaborators. Within our team, transparency is particularly important with regard to salaries and company figures. With our customers, we don’t hesitate to admit our mistakes and apologise.
