Core Values

10. <<Company>> Core Values
Credibility
As an internal service provider, I
led my team to provide truthful
assessments of the work needed
to bring organizations into
compliance, even if the situation
was more severe than
anticipated. Being invested in
the success of the project was
the motivation behind confronting
issues, in order to effectively
neutralize them.
Pride in Our Employees
As a manager & leader I've learned to
recognize the talents of my employees
& coach them to greater levels
performance. I have promoted where
appropriate, rewarded to acknowledge
achievements, worked with them in
developmental areas & empowered
them to shape our organization by
leveraging their expertise. Essentially,
it is the talent of employees that bring
value to the organization.

11. <<Company>> Core Values
Cultural Diversity
Although my team's charter is primarily to serve our internal customers in North, Central & South America,
we've served Europe & Asia as well. Along with the global diversity brought about by working with different
cultures, our work has brought us experience with various industries, such as medical devices, medical
diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, & nutritionals.

12. <<Company>> Core Values
Customer
Orientation
I was the first in my group to
develop a comprehensive
customer satisfaction survey.
It allowed for exemplary
work by my team to be
recognized & tied their
performance as judged by
customers to the company's
performance review process.

13. <<Company>> Core Values
People & Environment
Safety is an expectation for
performance, no exceptions.
Because we are out in the field, we
adhere to safe behaviors & safety
policies at all times.
On our commissioning side, we're
also very involved in sustaining our
environment by participating in LEED
accreditation efforts.
Trust
Relationships are the basis of
repeat business & new business
(from word of mouth). Trust &
experience comprise the
foundation of these relationships.
I value our ability to perform well
for customers & that we have
established ourselves as an
organization on which can be
depended.
