Front Burner Principles
Words are not enough to fully explain our vision for the future, our mission and guiding principles; however, it is a start. We are committed to remind ourselves daily of these things we say we stand for and will consider if our actions are consistent with our beliefs.
Fun
Being able to laugh at ourselves and with each other, to cultivate a more enjoyable and productive workplace. We chose the smiley face to represent fun because we think it represents our happy employees who embody this principle and know how to have fun!
Innovation
We encourage creative thinking and the use of technology to create a more efficient and profitable organization. We chose the gear because we believe innovation doesn’t just stop at the spark of a great idea – the gears represent how the process has to keep moving to bring great ideas to fruition.
Respect
We listen by seeking to understand rather than being heard. We are committed to being honest, direct and courteous with one another. We chose the hourglass because a part of respect is being courteous of everyone’s time and efforts. We use our time and the time of others wisely, not wastefully, in an effort to be productive.
Excellence
Delivering nothing less than the best products, support and performance. We chose the star to symbolize our five-star service and using all five senses to ensure our product is excellent, this is also one of our Melting Pot principles.
Integrity
We mean what we say. We own our mistakes. We live by our principles. Integrity means doing the right thing when no one else is looking, and we chose the compass because we should always use our principles as a compass to direct our path.
Teamwork
Knowing you’re a part of something bigger. Utilizing our combined talents and working together to achieve our company goals. We chose this symbol of intertwined hands to symbolize partnership – it takes more than one to achieve our goals, and we must all work together.
We are a team of unique individuals who together share common beliefs in order to achieve our objectives. This is where the real power lies in our organization.
