A core value is a concept or principle that is important enough to guide behaviour and decision making. Core values form the foundations on which a business is built. They guide actions in attaining your mission and vision.
Integrity – Doing the right thing in all circumstances. Even if no one is watching you.
Care – For yourself, your colleagues, the client, the company and the community.
Have Fun – At work, with each other and with your clients if possible.
Accountable – For you work, conduct, decisions and actions.
Respect – Towards yourself and one another.
Growth – In knowledge, the company and the client. We are partners in growth.
Excellence – In everything you do and especially in the service you provide to clients.
