RESULTS

Leaders and managers shared the values with their employees by ordering thousands of branded values give-
aways to distribute to their teams.

Employees make values a way of work, as demonstrated by testimonials:

“This team is determined every day to make a difference.
We like to make sure it is done right. We get consumers
what they want and need.”

GLORIA, PRODUCTION OPERATOR,
ON THE VALUE “MAKE A DIFFERENCE.”

“We really are empowered to own what we do – when we
see something bad on the line, we ask about it. We work
our way up the line if we need to.”

KEVIN, PRODUCTION OPERATOR,
ON THE VALUE “BE DETERMINED.”

“Come Together is an important value to this team. I’ve
seen so much separation in the past. We work together
now to get it done.”
