Values are
Principles for Living that we
take seriously. When applied, they serve to build character and
promote healthy relationships.
Values are Relational-they
don't stand alone; each interacts with the other.
Values have Consequences-there
is a cause and effect with each application of a value.
Values require Dialog-they
must be discussed and internalized for them to have an impact.
The following five values,
integrity, achievement, service, fairness and teamwork inform our
decision making and guide our day-to-day work. They provide a
framework for action.
Integrity
Doing what is right. Speaking truth, respecting truth, and being
truthful in a way that is best for each party in an exchange.
Truthfulness must be based on reality, not on a subjective view of
the world.
Achievement
Making positive things happen individually and in a collaborative
environment.
Service
Performing work that benefits our neighbors, our communities and
our society.
Fairness
Ensuring that our work and our interactions with others considers
the beliefs, desires, rights and responsibilities of all involved.
Holding one another accountable for contributing to a relationship
in proportion to what we fairly receive. Offering equal treatment
under similar circumstances.
Teamwork
Creating an environment in which all willing parties are able to
contribute to and share in the benefits that accrue from the
pursuit of our mission. Demonstrating that others are valued and
wanted. |
