Company Values
Company values may seem like some corporate-bullshit-marketing-ploy, but when you are faced with a challenging situation they can guide you to the correct solution. Knowing our values will help you to make the right decision, even if it’s a tough one. At Propr, we have 5 H's!
HONEST: We’re honest - even when it hurts. With colleagues, clients and guests we believe in transparency and owning up to our mistakes.
HUNGRY: We celebrate our victories and acknowledge our successes while striving to be better every day. We always want to be better. Better as a company and better as humans.
HUMBLE: What you have in your email signature doesn’t determine the value of your ideas or potential. We want each member of the team thinking critically about our company and processes.
HELPFUL: We look at everything in terms of “how can I help” not “what is the minimum I am required to do in order to satisfy the conditions of my employment”. We have 3 customers; our teammates, our guests and our property owners. We want them all to feel that everyone in the team is there to help them.
HAPPY: We work hard to make sure that everyone is in a role that they are great at and that has meaning to them.
