What Our Core Values Mean to Us |
|
Will Mackie (Production Planner): I consider Tedia's Core Values a rule of thumb when interacting with co-workers, customers, and suppliers. These values have become an expected standard each day that we do business. We choose to Respect our co-workers, customers, and suppliers. We choose to look for Opportunities for Employees to help each other learn and grow. We choose Teamwork to achieve goals demanding a collective effort. We choose Excellence in our products, procedures, and services. Go Tedia! Miles Tharmarajah (Production Manager):
Our core values mean everything to me. In order to be successful in our business, we have to have [our four Core Values]: Respect, Opportunities for Employees, Teamwork and Excellence. To me excellence is the most important. We demand excellence, not only in our customers but also in our co-workers. I live with that everyday. I take pride in what I do. I ensure everyday that the product is produced to exceed specifications and to meet customer orders on time.
Rozy Park (Manager, Administration):
We developed our core values through a participatory process. We involved every employee and these core values bubbled up, they didn’t trickle down from the top. This is what we strive for: to respect one another’s ideas by giving our employees a chance to voice their opinions. In this way, we try to recognize our people for the excellent work they do and give them opportunities to grow with Tedia – by letting them take an idea and run with it. These new ideas often require teamwork to implement, and through teamwork and new ideas, we become a more excellent company! |
