an attractive ROI for the owners. |

 |
|
OVS/RP Culture (How we do things around here) |
|
|
|
This is a living, working, and evolving
document intended to provide guidance to our
associates on a day-to-day basis…and to
facilitate understanding of OVS/RP by others. |
|
|
|
1. We
operate to a
high standard of integrity and
ethics
(when in doubt, do what feels “right”). |
|
|
|
2. We
demonstrate a high level of
respect for
the individual
(associate, manager, customer, vendor, etc.). We
have associates who work with us…not
employees that work for us. |
|
|
|
3. We
sell solutions;
not just supplies and equipment. |
|
|
|
4. We
value the family
as well as our work life, and consciously strive
to balance our responsibility to each. |
|
|
|
5. The
customer comes first…she
is the reason for our existence, the key to
achieve all other objectives. |
|
|
|
6. We
grow at an average rate of 10-15%/year in
earnings per share,
thus
insuring internal opportunities for growth,
and attractive stock value appreciation. |
|
|
|
7. We
operate based on spiritual principles
(i.e. every interaction with others is
“win-win”, applying the Golden Rule, and
returning a portion of our gains to our source). |
|
|
|
8. Openness,
“straight talk” and honesty are encouraged and
rewarded…areas
of disagreement and conflict are discussed
openly and resolved amicably. |
|
|
|
9. As
a result of our hiring, compensation and
communication policies,
our associates are largely self (and peer)
managed
at
the operating level (thus freeing our
“managers” to focus on enhancing the level and
quality of customer service & support). |
|
|
|
10. We
are, and are perceived as, a
very
professional organization
(disciplined, effective, neat/clean appearance
of facilities and individuals, active in
professional organizations, etc.). |
|
|
| 11. We
offer competitive salary and benefits, coupled
with attractive incentive compensation (in form
of profit sharing and stock ownership) which
enables us to attract and retain the
“cream of the crop” in each job classification. |
|
|
|
12. We
are committed to creating and maintaining a
safe, compliant work environment. |
|
|
|
13. We
work as a team
to reach goals, and strive for broad input and
discussion in our decision making process. |
|
|
|
14. We
believe that attitude is everything,
and are committed to maintaining a positive
attitude. |
|
|
| 15. We
are a “learning organization”
committed to lifelong learning for the
individual and the organization, and view our
customers as desiring the same.
Accordingly, we are open and willing
to accept change. |
|
|
|
16. We
constantly strive to create a
fun,
supportive, satisfying place to work,
and a good work environment. |
|
|
|
17. We
manage not by telling people
what to do,
but by reaching agreement on what
needs to be done. |
