**Values**

At Glide, brand values arent *just* words on a wall. They are at the heart of our culture and shape how we behave, how we recruit and how we support each other and our customers.

Each value is brought to life through our behaviours. Our behaviours make it clear how to speak to our colleagues and our customers, how we act towards each other and how we define being a Glider.

**Stand Together:** Like a family, we value togetherness, put the group before ourselves, welcome diversity and always work hard to make sure everyone feels like they belong.

**Act Bravely:** We dare to do things a little differently. We believe in each other and inspire the people around us to push themselves out of their comfort zones, to do things with courage and conviction, to grab life by the horns and to have total confidence in themselves.

**Care Whole-heartedly:** If we fall down on customer experience, nothing else we do matters. Thats because customer loyalty is hard won and easily lost. The difference boils down to caring about the things our customers care about, always taking the time to make life simpler for them, and going out of our way to connect and give them more than theyd expect.

**Live Vibrantly:** Were no ordinary company, and our culture reflects that: we believe that having fun, getting on with each other and not taking life too seriously is just as important as working hard.

**Be Tenacious:** Its about more than hard work and graft we never rest on our laurels. We are an unstoppable team that know we can always do better and more than what we achieved last week, month or year.

**Think Unconventionally:** Staying open-minded, defying predictable ways of doing things, outsmarting the competition and cracking on with enthusiasm and positivity is how we approach everything, every day.
