Values
Throughout its history, Barrett Paving has based its Human Resources policy on two basic principles: the quality of our employees and the value of a job well done. These principles are founded on specific values which profile the outline of Barrett's talents and forge our company's identity.
These basic values are found at every level of our company and consist of:
Enterprise
Each employee should show initiative and be motivated by a desire to win, to commit and to succeed.
Responsibility
Each individual is fully accountable for his or her decisions and actions.
Trust
Relations within Barrett Industries are based on trust, which is the cornerstone of autonomy, frankness and authenticity. It is for each person to establish and develop his or her trustworthiness.
Respect
Respect is the basic rule of behavior that guides every employee in all his or her actions: respect for oneself and respect for other employees, customers, third parties, unions, society at large, Barrett's principles, laws and regulations, the environment, fairness and ethics in the broadest sense.
Setting an Example
Each day, every employee is expected to give the best of themselves, to strive constantly for quality and to demonstrate the highest level of professionalism.
Humility
Through continual self-questioning and by maintaining a humble attitude, each employee is always able to advance.
Company Principles
In order to ensure continued success, Barrett Industries has, over the course its history, adopted a code of principles that has become the cornerstone of the way we function as a company.
Each of the following is a principle crucial to the success of each employee and the company as whole:
Human Resources
