3. Accuracy = Reliability

4. CreMap is not a team of robots.
Behind the website, the map, the
pins and the information are humans
working hard to deliver up-to-date
commercial property listings.
We train our colleagues and
continuously develop systems to
provide reliable information to our
customers.
Accuracy = Reliability

5. Collaboration

6. And we mean everyone...
Cremap Team Costumers
A service that everyone can
trust is one where everyone
gets to contribute.

7. To ensure that we deliver
accurate and reliable
information, we continuously
develop ways to encourage
everyone to contribute.

8. At CreMAP, collaboration isn’t limited
to the team members or to certain
people. We listen to our customers,
too! Everyone has a voice; everyone
gets to contribute.

9. Positivity

10. We approach
negativity with
positivity
Negativity is inevitable, but positivity
is a choice.
Who likes working in an
environment where there’s a
manager nagging behind you?
No one!

Results
By making our colleagues happy,
we create a working environment
that allows us to deliver positive
results; and when we achieve
positive results, we all feel happy.
Likewise, we also motivate each
other to produce positive results,
which inspires us to create a work
environment so we can make
everyone happy!
How does it work?

12. An awesome working life
makes for a satisfying
personal life.
And vice versa. :-)

13. How we keep
things fun at
CreMAP
Have you ever tried working while
you’re thinking about your personal
issues?
Have you ever tried enjoying your
personal life while thinking about
the amount of work you have left in
the office?
It’s not much of a life, right?

14. The Little Things Matter
Appreciation
From small gestures such as praising to giving them “a little something” when they
performed well, we make sure that our colleague’s efforts are acknowledged and
appreciated.
Support
When someone needs help, s/he will not have a hard time asking a colleague for
help! We believe that supporting each other makes our team stronger. It’s an
opportunity for us to show compassion and to trust someone who we do not see
face to face.

15. Oh and we let them play with
emoticons, too! Who are we to stop
them from having fun?

16. By doing all these, we create
a culture that inspires and
appreciates hard work.

17. Flexibility

18. Work anytime,
anywhere!
We do not make our employees
come to us; we let them work
anywhere, at anytime as long as the
day’s requirements are met.
This is one of the things that our
colleagues love about working for
CreMAP.

19. Quality work can be achieved even outside the office
Working for CreMAP means working outside the confines of a traditional office. We
let our colleagues choose their “office.” Some work at home, while others go to
coffee shops or even work while traveling.
This allows us to use of our time more effectively. No more long commutes or
wasted man hours waiting for 6pm, chatting with colleagues because you’re not
allowed to go home earlier. Life’s too short for these things!

20. Our Workstation

21. Long distance relationships
don’t have to suck.

22. How We Make LDRs Work
1. As a team, we make sure that we spend time together once a week.
2. We don’t limit our conversations to work-related topics. We share personal
stories - a son’s birthday, a daughter’s graduation, a million-dollar personal
project.
3. We make our meetings fun.
4. We keep an open communication. We ask our team how we can improve our
long distance relationship.
5. We establish trust by committing to our promises and deliver.
6. We set healthy boundaries.

23. Switching Roles
Flexibility comes in many forms. At
CreMAP, each and everyone has a
specific role but we also let them
work on projects that they are
interested in, and experiment on
new things. We don’t want to limit
our colleagues with their job titles.
They can be a leader in a specific
project, or a follower in another.

24. Empathy

25. Empathy is the backbone
of our business. It holds us
together and moves us
forward.

26. Putting One’s
Self in Another’s
Shoes
Empathy is one of the key elements
that binds us together as a team and
helps us understand our customer’s
needs.
We believe that being empathic
allows us to develop a business
model, design our interface, and
treat our colleagues and clients
better.

27. Empathy in
Workplace
Finding out what our
colleagues want and
need inside and
outside of work
Relating with our
colleagues’
experiences
Keeping in touch with
our colleagues
regularly
Asking our colleagues
how they think we can
improve our
procedures or
leadership skills

28. Our efforts to bond with our colleagues help us
gain an intimate knowledge of the kind of
people we are working with, which gave us a
clearer picture on how we can design an
environment that allows them to work
effectively.

29. Empathy in Design
Empathy goes beyond putting one’s
self in another’s shoes. Here at
Cremap, we take into consideration
what our customers need.
Understanding what our customers
experience in buying and selling
commercial real estate is an integral
part of designing CreMap’s entire
user experience.

30. Unity

31. Moving forward as
Excuse us for being cheesy, but to
quote a line from the Disney movie
Lilo & Stitch,
“Ohana means family and family
means nobody gets left behind or
forgotten.”
We are a family here in Cremap.
ONE

32. A diverse team with a common goal
CreMap is a team of individuals who come from different places and diverse
cultural backgrounds. Working online has given us the opportunity to work with
people who we would otherwise never meet [virtually].
This setup allows us to explore the benefits, the challenges and the solutions that
address each colleague’s needs and bring out everyone’s potential.

33. To create unity, we embrace
diversity.

34. The advantages of having a diverse team
● Seeing things from different perspectives
● Making friends from all over the all over the world
● Benefitting from individuals with a variety of interests and skills
● Fostering an attitude of openness
● Learning to adapt to different situations
● Having a sense of camaraderie

35. Proactivity

36. “Leader” is only a job title. We
encourage our colleagues to take the
lead.

37. Leader vs.
Someone who
Takes the Lead
Based on experience, we realized
that we can only have so many
leaders in one company. What we
really need is someone who would
speak his/her mind and take the
initiative to solve a problem.
Whether it’s a bug in the database
or a procedure that needs to be
revised, we listen to what our
colleagues think and let them take
action.

38. We progress not because of our
leaders, but because of our proactive
attitude towards work.

39. Why these values are important to us
