At The Kitching Group, we adhere to a set of core management values. Our responsibility is to operate the Kitching Group according to these values, and to evaluate ourselves, and the senior management of our business, on how effectively we embody these standards. The responsibility of our management team is to create the internal systems that reinforce our values in ways appropriate to their particular area.
- INTEGRITY - Integrity comes first. It is our overarching principle. We honor our commitments, act according to our stated values, and hold ourselves and our employees to the highest ethical practices.
- PEOPLE - We strive to deepen our bench strength by attracting and promoting the very best men and women. We measure performance with honesty, provide coaching where needed and create opportunities for people to show their potential.
- DIFFERENTIATION - Rewards should match performance, so individual performance in meeting objectives, creating value and strengthening the team is rewarded in direct proportion to achievements. Those who do not perform, grow or live our values are asked to seek other work.
- SPEED - We continually look for ways to collapse the time required to make and implement decisions. We improve the speed and effectiveness of our decisions by encouraging the free flow of information from all parts of the organization.
- STRETCH - We use best practices, industry benchmarking and aggressive budgeting as a base from which to challenge the highest targets for operating performance and value creation.
