Our Values
Often
when companies experience rapid growth, they "loose the formula
for success". Management and staff want to make sure that doesn't
happen, so we have firmly defined our company values and culture.
Each quarter the entire company takes time to ensure that people
are encouraged and recognized for "committing" a Cristek Value.
Employee activities or habits inconsistent with the Cristek
culture are tactfully mentioned to co-workers. Developed by the
staff and management team together, these values govern our
behaviors and will give you a great idea about what it is like to
work at Cristek.
Ethical Behavior
- We are honest. We don't lie, cheat or steal and we don't tolerate anyone who does.
- We keep our promises. We are as good as our word.
- We consistently treat people with fairness and respect.
- We act in a manner that would make us proud, or that would not embarrass us, if our actions were televised on "60 Minutes".
Excellence in Customer Satisfaction
- We fully understand our customers' requirements and priorities.
- We meet or exceed their expectations regardless of circumstances.
- We educate and empower all employees such that they are able to help fulfill our commitment to customers.
- With both our internal and external customers, we act in ways that create and keep "Raving Fans".
Valuing People
- We ensure that all people affected by our actions and decisions participate in developing the goals and decisions whenever possible.
- We provide a competitive salary and benefits package and emphasize "pay for performance" in other elements of financial rewards.
- We maintain a safe work environment for all of our people.
- We support people in balancing the demands of our work environment with the demands of family and personal lives.
- As a result of these actions, we retain loyal, productive employees who really want to work at Cristek.
Continuous Learning and Growth
- We provide regular, timely and helpful performance feedback for individuals, teams and the Company as a whole.
- We continuously improve our products and services as well as our internal work processes and procedures.
- We support continuous development which benefits our people as individuals, our Company, and our community.
- We act in ways that result in substantive measurable growth and development for our Company and ourselves.
Success
- We demonstrate a "Can Do" attitude.
- As individuals, teams and as a Company we regularly set challenging goals for ourselves and then achieve or surpass these goals.
- We focus on, and reward people for achieving results…not activities.
- We solve customer problems at almost any cost and view this as an investment.
- Our actions result in continuous growing sales and profitability with a fair return to owners and staff for their contributions to the Company.
Our People
From the management team to every individual contributor,
everyone here is great at what they do. Continuous Learning and
Growth is a value and managers are provided training and are
evaluated on how well they coach and develop their people to
become the next leaders of the Company.
Our Diversity
The Cristek Leadership Team is diverse in both gender and ethnicity. This diversity is reflected throughout the company and encouraged in the recruitment of new employees.
We're Progressive
Cristek's business is organized to promote innovation.
Although the company has a standard product offering, over 80% of
all revenues are derived from customized projects and products.
We're Quality Oriented
ISO-9001 certification is expected late this year and once achieved plans to pursue Baldridge recognition exist.
We Share the Wealth
Cristek monitors industry standards annually to ensure that the company's base pay rates fall within the top 25% of its peers. Additionally, the company offers quarterly cash bonus compensation tied to company and individual performance, a 401K plan with a 50% match and a 100% company funded profit sharing retirement program. Employees can also be compensated for up to
two hours per month for qualified charitable time donated. |
