Good Morning!
WANT TO RUN A BIBLICALLY BASED BUSINESS WITH CHRISTIAN VALUES?
Here's "Jack's Service Company's" statement of
values+:
1. "Trustworthy With Integrity - We will be
reliable, dependable, and can be counted on to keep promises.
We will do what we say we will do within the promised time frame.
(I Samuel 2:3)++
2. Worth of the Individual - We will practice the
'Golden Rule' in decision-making. We will respect human life,
dignity and rights of each including health, safety and work
environment. We are in business for 'people' (employees, customers,
vendors), not for our own wealth, power, prestige or ego. (Luke
15: 1 - 7; Matthew 7:12)
3. Family & Stability in Relationships - The
family is the foundation unit of every society. We will respect
women as wives, men as husbands, and singles. The family has
a higher priority than the firm and its profitability; therefore,
we will seek to build it up, not tear it down. (Galatians 6:1
- 9)
4. Honest & Truthful Communication - We will
strive to be genuine, open and above board in all relationships.
We will honestly and accurately report the facts. (Colossians
3:8, 9)
5. Responsibility of the Individual As Part of the Team
- Each of us will accept individual accountability for how we
carry out our responsibilities. We will aim to motivate each
other by praise rather than criticism to create an atmosphere
of productivity and freedom to admit individual mistakes in order
to accomplish team goals. (Ephesians 4:28 - 32)
6. Balance of Work/Rest - Vacations and breaks
will be encouraged so that proper rest, recreation, and reflection
will maximize long-term productivity and effectiveness. We believe
in working hard, but not necessarily in working unproductive long
hours just for the sake of appearance. (Mark 6:31; I Thessalonians
4:11, 12)
7. Rewarding Productivity - We will seek to reward
industriousness, innovation, initiative, prudence, and discipline.
Our focus is to develop our full potential, the result of which
is reaping rewards of our labor. (Ecclesiastes 5:18, 19; 1 Timothy
5:18, 19)
8. Everyone is Accountable to Authority - Any enterprise
must have structure and organization. Every person is accountable
to a higher authority. ( I Peter 2:13 - 18)
9. Servant Leaders - Effective leaders will be
servants who have attracted a following because of their passion,
vision, integrity, and love for people. We will make every effort
to develop this kind of leader. (Mark 10: 43 - 45)
10. Stewardship - We will strive to use wisely
and prudently the resources with which we have been entrusted."
(I Corinthians 4:2)
My prayer is that you are having a great week!
