What Mango’s All About!

Because today is Mango Monday, it’s only right to talk about Mango and what we’re all about. Language learning is a passion of ours, we live and breathe it around here. Besides analyzing language learning trends, perfecting the Mango methodology, and creating educational products for everyone to enjoy, there is a core value system we all strive to follow and live by here at the Mango grove.
Our core purpose is to deeply enrich lives by leading the world to language and cultural understanding. How did we get to this? I’m glad you asked… through our six core values!

-Quality
-Innovation
-Entrepreneurial Spirit
-Fundipline
-Integrity
-Positive Attitude

These core values come together to create what you know as Mango Languages. We try to put our best effort into everything we do while coming up with creative and new ideas that ultimately better the world through language learning. We’re driven and we have fun! Although we follow these core values on a daily basis, we couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you to all our fans for allowing us do what we love, who create and provide opportunities for people to learn about different cultures and the world around us through languages.

Core Value: Quality

Quality is something which every person strives to achieve in every single thing they do.  At Mango, quality is something that is expected without question.

When Mango puts out language courses for literally millions of people, every inch of our program needs to be pristine and without error.  Mango Languages, for this reason, is a company that welcomes constructive criticism, suggestions, and ways to make anything the company does better. Every course is checked for quality by everyone in the process, including each of us in the office.  This is to ensure that the end user will not experience anything less than our best.

What do you think? Why does quality work matter?

Core Value: Integrity

Mango Languages’ core values define our work culture. These values play a key role in every single thing that we do throughout the day here at Mango. Our six core values are:

1. Entrepreneurial Spirit
2. Quality
3. Innovation
4. Integrity
5. Fundipline (hybrid of fun and discipline)
6. Positive Attitude

Today’s post is about #4, Integrity. I, personally, think this the backbone of all of our other core values. Without it, the other core values truly cannot exist.

We take this core value very seriously at Mango. From course creation all the way to the promotional goodies we dole out, every step in the process is taken with careful consideration. It is embodied in everything: from double-checking the quality of every slide, to our Language Learning Specialists’ everyday interactions, even to the highest level of the company where all of our largest decisions are made.

Integrity is what really sets us apart from a lot of other companies, and not just in Language Learning. I think that having this core value be reflected in everything we do from day to day helps us to keep a good “head” on the company shoulders.

What do you think? Does integrity translate into good work?

Core Value: Innovation

Mango Languages’ core values define our work culture. I have to admit we have a pretty fun culture, and our core values come in to play in just about everything we do.  Our six core values are:

1. Entrepreneurial Spirit
2. Quality
3. Innovation
4. Integrity
5. Fundipline (hybrid of fun and discipline)
6. Positive Attitude

This post is all about #3: innovation.  According to Wikipedia innovation is a change in the thought process for doing something, or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries.

This core value is really important to keep things fresh and to add new ideas on the product development side of the business.  We work hard to keep the ideas flowing.  Having brain storming sessions. Working on cross-departmental teams. Coming up with crazy out of the box ideas and trying to find ways to make it happen.

Lots of creative juices flow around here. The only challenge… we are still only three years old and don’t have a ton of resources like the big guys. So, we have to be innovative in how we implement our ideas.

I think this is what makes us different than many other language learning companies. We are always looking at what is the next big thing and how do we get there. A truly great equation for success.

How do you keep innovating in your job?
