“Every home we repair, every solution we provide, and every life we touch is built on the foundation of Empathy, Harmony, and Integrity. This is how we create a lasting impact — one act of service at a time.” - Benedict Derrickson
Core Global Principles
Empathy – Interpersonal relationships and care
Harmony – Workplace environment and team dynamics
Integrity – Personal responsibility and accountability
These guiding principles aren’t simply a company culture roadmap, they're a whole way of life! When we have Empathy for someone else, it produces Harmony in our interactions inside and outside the company. Finally, the Integrity in our actions brings us full circle to realize a culture that not only builds character within our teams but provides the Gold Standard of service to our clients.
With a house, the foundation is what keeps the structure together to weather storms, and seasonal changes to last many years providing reliable shelter. In the same way, these principles are the very foundation of our entire company, providing the means for scalability and permanence.
