We strive to create an environment of growth, and as a family-owned and operated business, everything we do is guided by our core values - Enrich. Care. Deliver.
We ENRICH purposefully
By creating an engaging environment and experience, business thrives through the development and empowerment of each person's potential in a fast pace and fun-loving culture that shares in and celebrates success. As a team we are committed to a purpose larger than self-interest. Making an impact.
We CARE personally
For each other, for our clients, and for our community. Helpful, generous, friendly, attentive, and approachable. We reach out. We listen with respect, building personal and trusted relationships. People first. Every voice matters.
We DELIVER professionally
With expertise, integrity, accountability, reliability, professionalism, and out-of-the-box resourcefulness. We drive for above-and-beyond results. We go the extra mile, every mile. Every mile, the extra mile.
Our Core Values of 'Enrich. Care. Deliver.' and our Vision to 'Enrich the lives of our people,' support our central philosophy to build trusting relationships between our teams, our clients, our suppliers, and our local communities.
By building trust we create an environment where people feel safe - safe to learn, grow, and contribute. Every employee develops an 'Enrichment Plan' that includes not just professional, but also personal growth goals. Our leaders participate in ongoing training to foster personal connections with their teams. We continually measure the level of trust improvement using a Trust Index Survey conducted by the Great Places to Work Institute.
We have witnessed that when our people grow, our business grows with them. We know that building trusting relationships internally leads to trusting relationships with our clients, suppliers, and the local communities in which we live.
