Building a People-First Culture Through "Accountability" in a Remote World

Written by Radha Atianzar | Oct 7, 2025 7:04:00 PM

Keeping a social, healthy, and connected culture in a remote environment can be difficult, but we’ve been lucky to think of ways to work around these challenges and harness a positive environment with thriving work relationships.

How is this possible?

One of the many ways we encourage a healthy culture is by implementing six key Core Values at Intrinsic Digital that guide our interactions with one another and with our clients: Accountability, Authenticity, Caring, Surprise & Delight, X-Ray Vision, and Neutralevity.

Each month, we have our team members anonymously nominate their colleagues who represented these Core Values and award a small token to the winners.

Last month, we recognized our teammates who embodied Accountability, or those who take full responsibility for their work, own their decisions, and see things through from start to finish.

We set the expectation for Accountability to mean: "We take ownership, follow through, and hold ourselves and each other responsible for delivering results with integrity."

Our winner for “Accountability” is Stacey Chantavong!

We’re beyond excited to celebrate Stacey as the recipient of this month’s Core Value Award! Stacey models accountability in the day-to-day: she takes ownership, documents decisions, communicates status proactively, and helps others get to the finish line. When a task crosses teams or gets complex, Stacey clarifies the goal, breaks down the work, and makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. Her reliability, attention to detail, and willingness to step in wherever needed raise the bar for everyone around her.

Thank you, Stacey, for showing what dependable leadership looks like; clear expectations, timely follow-through, and quality work delivered with integrity.

See what Stacey’s teammates had to say:

"I nominate Stacey Chanthavong for demonstrating Accountability. Even though we are on different teams, she consistently supports us by explaining and guiding data-related tasks. By stepping in across functions and ensuring others succeed, Stacey shows true accountability and commitment to our collective success."

"Stacey always goes the extra mile to support our team’s success. She takes full ownership of her work, spots what needs to be done, offers practical solutions, and keeps everyone on track."

"Stacey's attention to detail is unmatched. She has done a fantastic job optimizing our audits and carefully uncovering errors and issues - key for us to be accountable to our clients!"

Next up

Our next Core Value is Authenticity: honest, genuine, and trustworthy. They make collaboration smoother because you know where they stand and you can rely on their word. Curious? Stay tuned to see who we celebrate next month!
