No blame policy

M.A.R.S. philosophy is that employees want to be fully participative members of high-performing teams, and no one comes to work with the intention of doing a poor-quality job. Employees are encouraged to speak about problems and mistakes, to be honest, and open. If a problem has occurred, the roots of it are searched for in an organizational deficiency, not in deliberate actions of an employee. No one will be blamed.
