The Support Tree Values
We have four core values at Support Tree that everyone is expected to abide by. We talk about them all of time, every day. Our team members refer their and other’s behaviours back to our values. They are used to praise and to help guide in 1to1’s.
We chose our values over 8 years ago. The leadership team drew a table with all team member names at the top and then went through each team member noting what values we thought they really showed.
Once we had exhausted the lists we counted up the values that were most frequently shown across the team and whittled them down to the four core values.
Always learning and growing. Taking new courses, reading industry articles, and stepping outside of your comfort zone. Professionally and personally.
Taking care in the work that you do. Taking pride in providing a high level service. Doing the right thing by the client. Helping out your team mates when they are in need. Showing someone support when needed. Prioritizing customer satisfaction, understanding their needs, and ensuring they have a positive experience.
Recognition of others and being aware of our own limits are what all team members of support tree must keep at their foundation. To be great requires we are always prepared to learn more, be selfless and ready to recognise all that support us.
Together, more can be achieved than individually. Having shared goals and having mutual respect for each other. Supporting your team mates when in need. Having the humility to roll your sleeves up and help when needed. Recognizing each team member's unique role. Open communication and holding yourself accountable to the team.
