At Gómez Platero, organizational culture is the driving force behind our daily work. We are a passionate, professional, and committed team that enjoys every stage of the projects we undertake. Our identity is built day by day upon shared values that enable us to grow together, both personally and professionally.
Our values: the essence of the "GP Gene"
We firmly believe that successful organizations have a clear purpose—a meaningful "why" that transcends them—as well as strong values that guide their actions toward achieving this purpose. At the Studio, we call this set of shared values the "GP Gene." This concept reflects our identity, connects us as a team, and builds bonds of trust, giving meaning to our daily work. The "GP Gene" is the essence that inspires us to give our best in every project.
The values we have defined and live by every day are:
Commitment: Fully embody GP’s values, acting as ambassadors of our culture, embracing shared objectives as our own, and relentlessly pursuing excellence.
Integrity: Foster relationships grounded in mutual respect, honesty, and trust, consistently upholding these principles in every circumstance and action.
Initiative: Continuously reinvent ourselves with proactivity and an open mindset, driving ongoing improvement through creativity and innovation.
Client Orientation: Delight our clients by consistently exceeding their expectations through active listening, and by responding with sensitivity, empathy, and a positive attitude.
Teamwork: Leverage individual strengths to complement one another, building a unified team that transcends individual contributions to achieve collective success.
Adaptability: Demonstrate the ability to adjust our behavior in response to change, viewing new circumstances as opportunities for growth and improvement, and delivering effective solutions.
Positive Attitude: Maintain an open, proactive, constructive, and responsible outlook, even in challenging situations, with the goal of fostering and enhancing an outstanding work environment.
Humility: Value and consider diverse perspectives, share knowledge generously, and treat everyone with respect and kindness.
These values are not merely written words; they are principles that guide every decision and action we take as a team.
Building our culture from day one
Our organizational culture is shaped from the very beginning, starting with our recruitment process. When bringing in new talent, we look for professionals who not only excel in their field but also share and embody our core values. Each team member has three essential responsibilities: performing their specific role with excellence, actively contributing to improving our work through their previous experience and consistently maintaining a positive attitude. This last responsibility is crucial for creating a pleasant, motivating, and productive work environment.
We actively encourage assertive communication, empathy, and the development of healthy interpersonal relationships. We are committed to our personal and professional growth, always striving to positively impact our clients and society.
Our collaborative, respectful, and positive culture fosters a rewarding workplace environment, recognized by organizations like Great Place to Work. Open communication, human warmth, solidarity, and diversity continually strengthen our organizational culture, enhancing team cohesion and a sense of belonging.
Living our values to achieve excellence
At Gómez Platero, our organizational values are integrated across all talent management processes and systems, from recruitment and selection to performance evaluation, including ongoing feedback and development conversations. This strategic alignment ensures that our values are not merely statements, but operational principles guiding our daily decisions and professional interactions.
Humility translates into concrete practices such as active listening and openness to continuous learning, both with colleagues and clients. A positive attitude is reflected in an organizational culture that recognizes and celebrates individual and collective achievements, thereby strengthening motivation and resilience when facing challenges. Integrity, in turn, is demonstrated through transparency and consistency in our actions, fostering mutual trust and credibility internally as well as externally.
Living and sharing these values is an essential requirement for being part of our team. Collaborative work based on genuine commitment, honesty, and a positive attitude allows us to approach each day with passion, directly impacting the quality of our results and the satisfaction of our clients.
Our organizational culture, built upon strong values, is a key factor that drives us to continue growing, continuously improving, and delivering our best in every project.
