Values
The following values are of utmost importance to everything we do. The ideals they represent can readily be found in our workplace as well as our homes. These values govern our behavior within the company, with our clients, with each other and in all of our relationships both personal and professional. These values are consciously embedded to strengthen Company, Individual and Project.
Character
Embodied in this value are many important components: persistence, initiative, integrity, humility, gratefulness, obedience, flexibility, endurance, loyalty, joyfulness, honesty, punctuality, cautiousness, contentment, resourcefulness, goodness, kindness, enthusiasm, and modesty.
Discipline
We believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. Our operational philosophy encourages the strict use of preferred methods applying repeatable patterns and conformity in our approach, our products, and our lives. While we constantly seek for better ways to improve our methods, we remain disciplined to the proven pathways.
Excellence
Excellence means being your best. Applied to the three levels of Solstice this means being the best Company, the best Individual, and providing the best Project possible. This pursuit leads us on an ongoing search for improvement, best practices, and unsurpassed quality and performance in everything we do.
Vision
Not a broad incomprehensible dream or theoretical idea of what things might be like but the inspiring ability to clearly see the details of things that are or soon will be.
Complementing the Solstice values of Character, Discipline, Excellence, and Vision are four pillars, Faith, Family, Fun and Fitness. These pillars provide the foundation and motivation for everything we do inside and outside the company.
Faith
Faith is the exercise of hope for things that are believed but are not seen. As such, it is the motivation for all actions. True faith is not a wishful hope but a firm belief that motivates action towards a certain end.
Family
Our families do not revolve around a time card or a punch clock but continue with us 24 hours each and every day. To succeed in life we must continually remind ourselves of the need for balance and harmony in all things. We strive to integrate work and family into one cohesive whole.
Fun
We embrace the ideals of hard work and hard play, and, hope to frequently do both at the same time. We go out of our way to find opportunities to enjoy one another’s company and try not to take ourselves too seriously.
Fitness
There are no shortcuts to good health. We believe that in order to be successful in all aspects of life for the long term, it is critical to make time for frequent exercise, relaxation, general mental health and balanced nutrition.
