We want every colleague at Hays to feel connected to our business and empowered by the way we work together. Our valued behaviors guide how we behave every day, how we serve our customers, and how we contribute to the communities we’re part of. Our valued behaviors are:
We strive for performance, see things through, and always act with integrity. We are clear on our vision for the future, believe in transparency and setting clear expectations for one another so we can perform at our best. It’s not about working for work’s sake; it’s about making our efforts count. We are trusted to do what we say we will do. And we always act with good intent, treating everyone with respect and working to the highest ethical standards.
We proactively partner with our customers to build better, profitable solutions. We have a customer centric mindset where every colleague, regardless of role or location, is connected and focused on ensuring they deliver for their customer, whether that is an internal customer, a client or a candidate. We are outward-looking so we spot opportunities and anticipate change so we can deliver the best expert service.
We support, celebrate and share with each other to create stronger outcomes for all. We have a strong sense of community and fun, underpinned by a focus on inclusivity, collaboration and co-creation. When we win, we win together. We create the space for people to be their authentic selves and for everyone to have a voice, so we arrive at the best solutions. When we lift each other up, we all succeed.
We’re ambitious, push outside our comfort zones and experiment. We are flexible and open-minded. We experiment, fail-fast, learn and grow. It’s about being prepared to innovate and take calculated risks. At the heart of this is knowing we may not always get it right, but how we learn, adapt and improve is key to our continued success.
