At Benten Technologies, we have five core values that we live by
Our corporate culture is woven with these core values, shaping the essence of our company and reflecting the qualities we cherish in our team members. They’re the bedrock of our culture, illuminating how we operate, and what we expect from ourselves. These values are not just words; they are the life force of our company. We embody these principles daily, and they are encapsulated in five simple, memorable words: How, We, Do, Better, and Wow! Each word encapsulates one of our core values, guiding our actions and defining who we are as a company.
These core values are ingrained into our corporate culture and DNA. These core values exemplify the quality and characteristics of individuals that thrive within our company, define our culture, and set the expectations for how we operate. We live and breathe these values as a company. The five core values are: How, We, Do, Better, and Wow! These five words represent easy-to-remember terms that represent each of our core values.
The word “how” represents our core value of curiosity
When we say “How,” we’re embracing the core value of curiosity. It’s about nurturing our intellectual curiosity, fostering a culture of lifelong learning, and never ceasing to ask “how.” For us, it means constantly exploring new horizons: How can we construct a superior digital health solution to enhance people’s lives? How can we inspire and cultivate healthy habits through our solutions, empowering individuals to lead healthier lives? And, most importantly, how can we truly make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who rely on our solutions? Curiosity fuels our innovation, and “How” is our compass in the quest for answers.
The word “how” represents our core value of curiosity. We believe in being intellectually curious, being lifelong learners, and always asking how. For example, how might we build a better digital health solution that will improve the lives of people? Or… How might we engage and create healthy habits with our solutions so people can live healthier lives? And finally, how might we impact the lives of people that use our solution?
