Our Values
At reachAbility, our values are the lens through which we see our clients, our work, our colleagues, and our community. It was very important to us that every staff member at reachAbility collaborated in determining our values. After coming together as a group to examine our actions and our goals, individually and as an organization, the team narrowed our list of core values down to five.
These five values inform our actions, our decisions, and our future direction. We strive every day to ensure that everything reachAbility does reflects all of these core values.
Determination
We value persistence and drive to keep working toward a goal despite challenges or setbacks.
Collaboration
We value working effectively with others by sharing ideas, responsibilities, and efforts to achieve a common goal.
Respect
We value treating others with consideration, valuing their perspectives, and recognizing their worth.
Accountability
We value taking responsibility for your actions, decisions, and their outcomes.
Creativity
We value the ability to generate original ideas, remain curious, think innovatively, and approach problems in new ways.
