DavidsonWorks Organizational Core Values

Visionary Leadership – Having a futuristic mindset – planning for the future to be able to meet and exceed the needs of the business for tomorrow – being a catalyst for change, leading people towards a shared vision that we can all get excited about! Seeing the big picture and staying ahead of the game by diversifying solutions that position the organization as a leader in the field.

Valued Employees – Is about mutual respect – the spirit of the golden rule. Value each person’s contribution to the agency and the team. Value the diversity of the team. Caring about employees enough to invest in them and develop their potential; because they are worthy. Engaging the front-line workers and empowering employees by valuing their input. With empowerment comes accountability and responsibility. It is about giving credit when credit is due.

High Expectations – Expectations of excellence is going above and beyond, rising to the challenge, having an attitude of service – clear performance goals and delivering results. Anything that supports our vision and mission is part of your job – and is the right thing to do. The employee exceeds normal job responsibilities because they have the discipline and passion to succeed. Volunteering, performance management (having challenging, but attainable performance goals/standards to exceed every year). It is taking initiative – not waiting until you are asked. It is about taking charge of your personal and professional development.

Exceptional Customer Service – Going beyond the expected and wowing the customer. Positive friendly attitude. Recognize the customer and make them feel important. Take care of both the external and internal customers. Assess your service delivery and raise the bar. Collecting feedback on each area of service: e.g., resource room, career development, business services, etc…

Continuous Improvement – Keeping your knowledge base current and with cutting edge benchmarks, open to growth opportunities, self assessment, and examining the quality of your work. It is about learning, unlearning and relearning. It is about being effective and efficient, we can always do better. The moment you start thinking you are great you have committed to mediocrity. Continuous improvement is about innovation. It is about having and adopting international standards (ISO, Lean, Baldridge, and Sigma).

Innovation – Being creative, taking risks (legal, moral and ethical), and searching for cutting edge benchmarks and best practices. It is about research and development, exposure to other learning networks through conferences and other forums. Professional Associations/Office Internships, empowering staff to bring ideas to the table, partnerships and regionalism, thinking and delivering globally competitive solutions.

Integrity – Doing the right thing right the first time – professionalism – supporting our brand reputation by providing quality services. You represent the agency by the way you carry yourself. Represent the agency while exemplifying the core values in everything you do. Delivering what you promise – not over promising and under delivering. Professionalism runs throughout all core values. Being a role model, being financially accountable to taxpayers. It is about honoring confidentiality of clients and confidential management meetings.
