CORE VALUES - GEM ADVOCATES

1. TEAM WORK

We capitalize on the creativity, energy, and passion that working together creates. Working together creates a more enriching work environment and generates better results.

2. WE ARE INNOVATIVE

We exist in an ever-changing world where the needs of our clients and our business never stay the same. We are always coming up with new ideas and new methods.

3. INTEGRITY

We are not willing to violate our identity at any cost.

4. RESPECT

We treat people with respect and dignity. We embrace diversity and diverse opinions.

5. WE PRACTICE EXCELLENCE

We always strive to be the best in everything we do. We improve our performance continually and stress the importance of quality and productivity.

6. WE PRACTICE BLAMELESS PROBLEM SOLVING

Blame has no place in a high-performance organization. We fix mistakes by focusing on solutions, not on whose fault it was. We use these situations to learn, and we apply that learning by improving our processes to reduce the likelihood of repeating the mistake.

7. WE DO NOT ACCEPT MEDIOCRITY

We take pride in the quality of everything we touch and do. We will always work to be better tomorrow than we are today. We will not settle. We will always think big. We "bring it" every day. While skill, talent, and knowledge are necessary for producing good results, passion is the energy that fuels truly extraordinary performance.

8. WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE

Holding ourselves accountable for results is a reflection of our personal commitment to our mission.
