Each of our new Values is powerful, but it’s when you bring them all together that they create the potential to reshape our culture. Equally important as the Values themselves are the meanings behind the words. We carefully shaped the descriptions of our Values to explain the ideas embedded in each. Below are our new Values with a brief description that explains how we consider each Value to be one we hold close. The Values are not just words on a page; they represent the core beliefs and principles that define who we are as an organization. While we have four unique Values, we see them as a set that works together.
Optimism:
We are hopeful and positive and enjoy finding a way to make something work. We inspire others. We keep going, even in the face of challenge.
Ambition:
We are growth oriented and value forward progress. We are driven to make a difference through our work. We are committed to setting big goals and to the discipline required to achieve them.
Expertise:
We are skilled. We produce excellent, high-quality work. We are considered great at what we do, individually and collectively.
Thoughtfulness:
We think things through. We seek and consider the perspectives of others in decision making. We are gracious and inclusive. We care deeply about our work, and the wellbeing of our colleagues, our clients, and our company.
