How We Think & Work 💭

Our Values

🧘🏻‍♀️
Patience Our patience allows us to approach each patient’s unique situation with calm and understanding. For some, navigating a digital course can be challenging. For others, seeking help in a difficult situation can feel overwhelming. By taking the time to listen and explain everything carefully, we ensure that every patient feels supported and informed.
🫶🏻
Empathy Empathy is a core value for our team. It is essential that our patients feel heard and understood. Whether they have specific questions about our courses, encounter technical issues, or seek general advice on where to find help, we are dedicated to supporting each patient with compassion and care. These values equally guide our communication within the team.
🪴
Resilience When communicating with our patients, we encounter a wide range of emotions. Our resilience enables us to handle challenging interactions with patience and empathy. Given that our team's workload can be unpredictable, our resilience ensures we maintain high-quality support and a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances.
💡
Innovation We are constantly striving to optimize our processes and services. By addressing each patient’s requests individually and embracing creative solutions when needed, we ensure that our patients receive personalized and effective support.
🤸🏻‍♂️
Flexibility Flexibility is an essential value in our team. It enables us to quickly adapt to the dynamic conditions of a startup, fosters innovation, and ensures optimal support within our team.

How We Work

Communication With Patients

image

Our patients, interested parties, and people who need assistance can reach us through the following channels: Our support and consultation hotline, by email, via WhatsApp and live chat. We operate these channels on weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM in alternating shifts.

Since we directly interact with our patients, and most of them are German-speaking, our main operating language as Patient Support is German. This differs from other teams at HelloBetter, as the company-wide communication happens in English.

Communication within the Team

We continuously grow as a team - and along with us, the topics and projects we manage. Our meeting structure allows us to have an overview of our projects while also diving deeper into individual topics in smaller groups.

In addition to our meetings, we stay in close contact via Slack. It is very important to us to be there for each other, to support other team members, and to work together continuously in a remote working environment. We can confidently say that we fully embrace this value.

In addition to exchanging information with one another, documenting our knowledge and processes is a crucial part of our work. We use Confluence to document our various projects and workflows, ensuring that everyone in the team, including new employees, has the same level of understanding.
