Operating principles

<aside> 🌻 We are no fans of abstract, noun-based value collections.

But we have spent a lot of time trying to work out what we value most in our personal and professional lives, and the actionable operating principles you find here are the result.

They guide our everyday decision-making at Luminovo, and we expect every Luminerd to try their best to live up to them.

</aside>

Our core purpose is putting people first ****and building great things:

Putting people first

<aside> 🤝 Trust each other. Default to transparency and provide a safe zone where others can be vulnerable.

</aside>

<aside> 💬 Engage in productive conflict. When in doubt: speak up. Assume best intent. Be kind and show that you care. Use conflict as an opportunity to grow together.

</aside>

<aside> 💃 Have fun. Be yourself, stay humble, and enjoy the time together. If you did not laugh, it was a wasted day.

</aside>

Building great things

<aside> 🚀 Focus on impact. Begin with the end in mind and let measurable outcomes guide your actions. Solve real problems.

</aside>

<aside> 🏃‍♀️ Be proactive. Act if you see an opportunity to help. Take ownership of your work and earn autonomy.

</aside>

<aside> 📚 Keep learning. Be curious. Do not be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.

</aside>

Employee wellbeing

<aside> 🌸 Mental health matters Taking care of your mental health is just as important as managing your physical health. Therefore, we offer Luminerds access to a mental health platform (Bloom), including tools designed to maintain a healthy work-life balance and excel both personally and professionally.

</aside>

<aside> 🧠 Psychological safety We invest a lot of time and effort to make sure every Luminerd feels safe to bring their whole self to work. Psychological safety is the foundation of our direct and respectful feedback culture, our you-decide approach, and how we collaborate as a team.

</aside>

<aside> 🙌 Diversity & inclusion

We provide an authentic environment that empowers all Luminerds from various backgrounds and with their unique brains to prosper, succeed, and make a difference.

We explore curiously who our people are, what they excel at, and what makes them unique. Combined, the individual uniqueness of every Luminerd drives our success as a team.

Work environment

<aside> 😝 You decide We trust Luminerds to act in the best interest of Luminovo. This is why we apply a “you decide” approach to productivity-related decisions, particularly including expenses, devices, and professional development. We believe that given a high talent density and our goal to innovate, allowing the people with the most relevant knowledge to call the shots will result in better outcomes. We want to lead with context, not control.

</aside>

<aside> 🏡 Remote-first (with HQ in Munich) As part of our remote-first setup, all Luminerds can work remotely within +/-2 hours of CET, while always being welcomed in our Munich office. Our office is always stocked with free drinks, snacks, and other treats. Flights and accommodation for work trips are expensed!

</aside>

<aside> 🎁 Home-office equipment As part of our remote-first setup, all Luminerds have the option to work from home. Regardless of your work location, we will make sure you receive the necessary equipment. This could include a MacBook, 4K monitor, mouse, keyboard, ergonomic chair, etc.

<aside> ✈️ Team Retreats Keeping our team close and maintaining our company culture is a must and something all Luminerds contribute to. In addition to our annual company-wide retreat (LumiWeek), Luminerds independently organize in-person team retreats.
