Valued Behaviors

We believe a company’s actual values are shown by whom they hire, reward or let go. Below are the specific behaviors and skills we care about most. If these values describe you, and the people you want to work with, you’re likely to thrive at ASSC.

It’s easy to talk about valued behaviors; it’s harder to live them. In describing courage, we say, “You question colleagues' actions inconsistent with these behaviors.” We all work to keep each other accountable for living up to these standards, especially our leaders.
