S afety and Environment
The safety of our employees and everyone we deal with is paramount. To that end we conform to the highest standards of Responsible Care and are working towards an ESAD II accreditation.
T eamwork
We place a great emphasis on teamwork : the sum of the parts is always greater than the whole. It is only by working together, both internally and externally that long lasting partnerships can form for the benefit of all. We can run parts of our business differently but they must all ''knit'' at the top by good teamwork and communication so reducing a ''silo'' mentality.
R esponsibility
Responsibility is important on both a personal and corporate level. Giving employees the responsibility to make decisions themselves makes their working life more fullfilling. Social Responsibility issues such as child labour, animal testing and the minimum wage are also recognised as important. Cornelius has always had a strong social conscience and now we can use the auditing and continual improvement process in SA8000 to make sure we do not knowingly trade with organisations whose standards may not be so high and continually review our own policies.
E ffectiveness
Being effective means producing powerful effects. Being efficient means producing results with little wasted effort : it's the ability to carry out actions quickly. However, by so doing, you may not necessarily be achieving effectiveness. Effectiveness allows you to accomplish the worthwhile goals you've chosen : i.e. the ones which support your vision and your mission and lead to continuing success.
T rust
Without trust we can have no relationships. We foster a climate of openness within the organisation and seek to build the trust of everyone we deal with. Unless our customers and principals trust us we cannot achieve the industry respect we seek.
C ontinuous Improvement and Development
Cornelius is committed to the training and development of all our employees and have developed innovative human resource policies which aim to make working for Cornelius an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. We encourage our staff to take responsibility for their own learning and development.
H onesty
Without honesty there can be no Trust. We value honesty within the organisation and with our dealings with customers and suppliers. It is also important to encourage everyone to be honest with themselves!
I nnovation
The term innovation may refer to both radical and incremental changes to products, processes or services. "Companies cannot grow through cost reduction and re-engineering alone. Innovation is the key element in providing aggressive top-line growth, and for increasing bottom-line results"
F un
Everybody needs a bit of fun in their lives : work should be fun too. We want all our employees to enjoy working for us and believe that our values makes doing business with us an enjoyable experience too.
