Why Companies Choose KWAN

As a KWANer alumni, choosing KWAN - the best Portuguese company I ever worked for - as our outsourcing partner was an obvious choice: KWAN and Team Resilience’s values and culture are very much aligned.

KWAN’s proactive initiative was a massive benefit. We needed to drastically increase our development staff and KWAN was able to provide the solution by creating a highly skilled team of developers, who fit the cultural and technical requirements.

In an industry such as the tech one, where computers play a major role, it’s refreshing to account on a partner that is human, open, sensitive, and understandable, such as KWAN.

Our Guiding Principles

Always Give
Your Best

We expect nothing else but your best work, for that, it’s normal that you fail, try again and give your best until you succeed. We want you to be a part of the solutionand not the problem.

Show That
You Care

At the end of the day, we want everyone to feel well treated in our environment, so we have zero-tolerance policy for idiots on our team, and we expect you to take care of each other. Show that you care. Show it with your actions and words.

Build an Environment of Open and Honest Relationships

At KWAN, we want a familiar, friendly environment that promotes trust. Trust among us, trust with our customers, trust with our partners. Be a part of that environment, build it, and nurture it. We know how important it is to feel part of something bigger than ourselves.

Deliver WOW Through Your Service

We don’t want our customers to just like our products, services, or brands. We aim to have raving fans of our experience! That’s why we constantly look to delivering that “wow” factor that positively surprises anyone who interacts with us. We take this very seriously, and we know it starts from within.

Stay
Humble

Being humble mens recognizing that we don’t control most of our lives and that if we prosper today, it’s because we’re part of a collective intelligence that can uplift or destroy us. We celebrate our victories and know that tomorrow everything can be tested and changed again. We thrive on living in gratitude and staying humble for who we are. Arrogance and significance don’t last long at RUPEAL.

Do
What's Right

We all know the difference between doing what’s right and doing what’s wrong. Knowing and observing what works and what doesn’t. Being responsible, honest, and ethical is mandatory.

Be Coachable and Don't Take It Personally

Constant and never-ending improvement is part of our DNA. And we know we can only improve if we get constant feedback and coaching. That is why it’s so important to get feedback in an open way and not take it personally. Otherwise, we are unable to grow as human beings.

Do More
With Less

At the end of the day, it is not who has the most resources that succeeds. It’s the one who does the most with the resources available. We need to be creative to achieve the same or better results with the resources we have, which is why it’s so important to always try and do more with less.

Pursue Growth and Personal Development

We know that everything that doesn’t grow is actually dying. That is why we always strive to make different distinctions and search for new knowledge that improves our lives, be it on a professional or personal level, as it will make us better collectively as a group. That is why it’s so important that you pursue your personal growth and development.

Have
Fun

Why work so many hours if you’re not having fun? We expect you to have fun with us, have a great sense of humor, develop amazing connections, and have a sense of purpose. Have fun! Otherwise, what’s the point of what we do?
