The 5 values that define us
Radical Caring
We care about our communities, our teammates and, of course, our clients. We may not be the first company to take our clients’ interests to heart, but our dedication is singular and our service is customized. We care that clients feel in good hands. Health and safety always comes first. It’s not about statistics, it’s about how much we care for one another.
Empowering Transparency
Transparency is empowering. It generates trust, both internally and externally. We take pride in being ethically unyielding and honest, in inspiring trust by saying what we mean and doing what we say and taking responsibility for our actions.
Optimism first, always.
We know that only the positive, the solution-driven ones can truly bring change. When facing a challenge, we don’t come with “buts,” we come with “what ifs.” We leave negativity out and think positive first. Our best work is about great attitude, authenticity and meaningful relationships.
All for one, one for all.
We value ideas over hierarchy. We believe that the best ideas can come from anywhere, from anyone. We work with a common goal of constantly improving and developing ourselves, so we can become better as individuals, as teams and as a company. We are better together, in an inclusive environment where diversity makes us stronger.
Positive Intrapreneurship
To us, being entrepreneur is a default mindset, a hard wired desire to improve things. We take pride in doing things right, with creativity and efficiency. Enabling value creation for clients and communities is why we give our people autonomy. And we are accountable for what we do. Our ownability is our drive to have a tangible impact.
Our practical guide to doing the right thing
Englobe’s mission and vision are founded on enabling tangible change by creating a sustainable future for our families, our clients and partners, and the communities we live in.
