What Do We Value?

At NBDF our mission is to serve those affected by all inheritable bleeding and blood disorders. We are committed to our employees as well as those we serve. To do so, NBDF seeks and values those qualities, both visible and invisible, that makes individuals unique. We strive to be a safe place where regardless of age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, family status, national origin, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, you are heard, empowered and valued. We believe that every person's unique perspective and experience helps us advance our mission.

Accountability is accepting responsibility for your actions and being willing to be answerable to the outcomes of your choices, decisions, and actions. Accountability equates to living in integrity – being honest in thoughts, words, and actions.

A culture of accountability means we can build trust as we know then that we can depend on our team members to keep their word. We perform better, we get honest feedback from others, and we can be expected to meet firm deadlines for important tasks.

As a research, advocacy, and education organization, we are in continuous contact with community members, stakeholders, and peers who depend on us for all sorts of information. At NBDF, being of service is a constant. The very definition of service; an act or a variety of work done for others, helps demonstrate behaviors where we set aside our preoccupation with ourselves and turn our focus outwards, towards others.

We value diversity in background, lived experience, culture, and thought. We treat each person with the highest level of respect, and we safeguard their sense of belonging. We respect the unique needs of consumers, employees, and partners thereby ensuring the success of our mission.

A supportive work environment is one where everyone’s role and emotional, physical, and mental well-being is valued. When we feel valued, we are more likely to perform better and are more committed to the mission of our organization.
