The ProQR habits

Did you know that at ProQR we have created so-called ‘Habits’? Seven habits which capture the mindset and behavior at ProQR that we hold ourselves and each other responsible for in achieving our mission. The habits are written in the first person so each ProQRian will feel inspired to take ownership of them. The habits are being brought to life on a daily basis, as we all lead by example, modeling these behaviors in how we interact and do our work.

So, what are our seven habits?

  1. I act in the interest of patients
  2. I am empowered and take accountability
  3. I respect my colleagues and value collaboration
  4. I strive for quality and excellence in all that I do
  5. I challenge the status quo
  6. I am always learning
  7. I communicate proactively, clearly, respectfully, and fearlessly

These habits are a result of input from all ProQRians. Ultimately, together we define our culture.
