Values
- Company Core Values
- The organization has three Core Company Values: People, Performance and Relationships. These values guide our behaviors. Not only is it important that we accomplish the goals for our job; it is also important "HOW" we accomplish them. This section should be used to comment on the Employee's impact on other PEOPLE (internal and external), the PERFORMANCE (of the Employee's teams and the organization as a whole), and RELATIONSHIPS (how the Employee balances trust, accountability, ethics, and respect.)
