it’s in our dna
The CDS Standards
These are non-negotiable. It’s how we look at every client and every project. It’s how we treat our employees and vendors. It’s baked into our very essence.Do the Right Thing, Always
Demonstrate an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing in every action you take and in every decision you make, especially when no one’s looking. Always tell the truth, no matter the consequences. If you make a mistake, own up to it, apologize, and make it right.
MAKE QUALITY PERSONAL
Demonstrate a passion for excellence and take pride in the quality of everything you touch and everything you do. The way you do one thing, is the way you do everything. Don’t accept mediocrity. Good is not good enough. Always ask yourself, “Is this my best work?”
HONOR COMMITMENTS
Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it. This includes being on time for all phone calls, appointments, meetings, and promises. If a commitment can’t be fulfilled, notify others early and agree on a new deliverable to be honored.
SHARE INFORMATION
With appropriate respect for confidentiality, share information freely throughout our organization. The more people know, the better we can collaborate. Share the good with the bad. Learn to ask yourself, “Who else needs to know this?”
LISTEN GENEROUSLY
Listening is more than simply “not speaking.” Give others your undivided attention. Be present and engaged. Minimize the distractions and let go of the need to agree or disagree. Suspend your judgment and be curious to know more, rather than jumping to conclusions. Above all, listen to understand.
SPEAK STRAIGHT
Speak honestly in a way that “forwards” the action. Make clear and direct requests. Say what you mean and be willing to share ideas or take positions that may result in conflict when it’s necessary in order to reach our goals. Be quick to resolve misunderstandings through direct communication with the person or people involved.
ASSUME POSITIVE INTENT
Work from the assumption that people are good, fair, and honest, and that the intent behind their actions is positive. Set aside your own judgments and preconceived notions. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS
Missing just one detail can have an enormous impact on a job. Be a fanatic about accuracy and precision. The goal is to get things right, not simply to get them done. Double-check your work. Get the details right the first time.
DELIVER RESULTS
While effort is important, we expect results. Follow-up on everything and take responsibility to ensure that tasks get completed. Set high goals, use measurements to track your progress, and hold yourself accountable for achieving those results. Don’t allow last week’s success to interfere with this week’s results!
GET CLEAR ON EXPECTATIONS
Create clarity and avoid misunderstandings by discussing expectations upfront. Set expectations for others and ask when you’re not clear on what they expect of you. End all meetings with clarity about action items, responsibilities, and due dates.
WORK ON YOURSELF
Be a lifelong learner. Seek out and take advantage of every opportunity to gain more knowledge, to increase your skills, and to become a greater expert. Be resourceful about learning and sharing best practices.
DELIVER LEGENDARY SERVICE
It’s all about the experience. With every experience, do exactly what your customer (internal and external) expects, plus a little more. Make every interaction stand out for its helpfulness. Create the “WOW” factor that turns customers into raving fans.
PRACTICE BLAMELESS PROBLEM SOLVING
Demonstrate a relentless solution focus, rather than pointing fingers or dwelling on problems. Identify lessons learned and use those lessons to improve ourselves and our processes so we don’t make the same mistake twice. Get smarter with every mistake. Learn from every experience.
“BRING IT” EVERY DAY
Have a passion for what we do and be fully engaged. Choose to be positive and make the most of each day by approaching every task with energy, focus, purpose, and enthusiasm. Work with a sense of urgency to get things done.
TAKE INTELLIGENT RISKS
Innovation, improvement, and success don’t come from playing it safe. They come from a thoughtful and intentional willingness to try the unconventional and to ask “What if?” Try a new way. Think differently.
FIND A WAY
Take personal responsibility for making things happen. Respond to every situation by looking for how we can do it, rather than explaining why it can’t be done. Be resourceful and show initiative. Don’t make excuses or wait for others to solve the problem. See issues through to their completion. If you need help, raise your hand!
BE PROCESS DRIVEN
Create systems and processes that are scalable and that support our ability to perform with consistency. Strong processes are the foundation of organizational effectiveness. Document everything so others can pick up where you left off.
MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES
Take care of yourself at home and at the office. Eat well, exercise, and get adequate sleep. Support each other in making healthy choices. The healthier you are, the more you’ll thrive personally and professionally.
TREASURE, PROTECT, AND PROMOTE OUR REPUTATION
We’re all responsible for, and benefit from, the Charles D. Sheehy, Inc. image and reputation. Consider how your actions affect our collective reputation and be a proud ambassador for the company.
BE RELENTLESS ABOUT IMPROVEMENT
Regularly reevaluate every aspect of your work to find ways to improve. Don’t be satisfied with the status quo. “Because we’ve always done it that way” is not a reason. Guard against complacency. Find ways to get things done better, faster, and more efficiently. Make it better!
WORK SMART
Be proactive and think ahead. Be organized and plan your work for maximum efficiency. Have all the tools necessary before starting your work. Be thoughtful about your schedule, and have a game plan for your calls, your tasks, and your workday. Know the priorities and work on them first.
MAKE A DECISION
Pay attention to all data and information available to you. Avoid analysis paralysis. Gather the relevant facts and evaluate your options thoroughly, then get moving. Utilize all your tools and act decisively. If new information becomes available, don’t be afraid to make a new decision and change course when it’s appropriate.
INVEST IN RELATIONSHIPS
Get to know your clients and co-workers on a more personal level. Talk more and e-mail less. Understand what makes others tick and what’s important to them. Strong relationships enable us to more successfully work through difficult issues and challenging times.
BE A FANATIC ABOUT RESPONSE TIME
Respond to questions and concerns quickly, whether it’s in person, on the phone, or by e-mail. This includes simply acknowledging that we got the question and we’re “on it,” as well as keeping those involved continuously updated on the status of outstanding issues.
CELEBRATE SUCCESSES
Recognize people doing things right rather than pointing out when they do things wrong. Regularly extend meaningful acknowledgment and appreciation — in all directions throughout our organization. Celebrate each other’s successes and our company’s success.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Be an active part of your community. Give back by contributing your time, effort, and where appropriate, your money, to make your community better. Every little bit matters. You can and do make a difference. Let’s make a difference together.
EMBRACE CHANGE AND GROWTH
What got us here is not the same as what will get us to the next level. Get outside your comfort zone, rather than stubbornly hanging on to old ways of doing things. Be excited by the possibilities that change and growth bring. Be flexible and open-minded.
WALK IN OTHERS’ SHOES
Understand others’ worlds. Know their challenges and frustrations. See things from their perspective. The better you understand them, the more effectively you can anticipate and meet their needs.
CREATE A GREAT IMPRESSION
Every conversation, phone call, e-mail, letter, and even voicemail, sets a tone and creates an impression. Pay attention to every interaction and be sure you’re setting a tone that’s friendly, warm, and helpful. Our personal appearance and that of our office, trucks, and worksites makes a strong statement about the pride we take in our performance. Be neat and professional.
DO WHAT’S BEST FOR THE CLIENT
In all situations, do what’s best for the client, even if it’s to our own short-term detriment. Put their needs ahead of our own. Recommend what is best for them, not just what they asked for. Do your homework. There’s no greater way to build a reputation than to steadfastly do what’s right for others. Every day.
HAVE EACH OTHERS’ BACKS
It’s not about you. Don’t let your own ego or personal agenda get in the way of doing what’s best for the team. Be there for each other and be willing to step into another role or help a co-worker when that’s what’s required for success. Help each other to succeed.
TREAT EVERYONE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT
Treat others in a way that honors their self-worth and respects their value as unique individuals, regardless of their background, appearance, or beliefs. Act with kindness, compassion, and patience.
RUN TO THE PROBLEM
Problems and mistakes don’t define us — how we handle them does. Our best chance to “wow” is when a teammate or customer is upset and frustrated. Seize the moment and attack the problem. The bigger the problem, the greater our chance to show them what we’re made of.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE
The best way to influence others is through your own example. Walk the talk. Take responsibility, both formally and informally, to coach, guide, teach, and mentor others. Be the change you want to see.
KEEP THINGS FUN
While our passion for excellence is real, remember that the world has bigger problems than the daily challenges that make up our work. Stuff happens. Keep perspective. Don’t take things personally or take yourself too seriously. Laugh every day.
