Our Core Values
Happy to Help
Learn today, succeed tomorrow
Do the right thing
Success is in the Details
Go Home Healthy
Do what you say you're going to do
Regardless of how busy you are, don’t wait to be asked to lend a helping hand. “It’s not my job” isn’t in our language.
Mistakes are great! …as long as you learn from them and share the experience with others so everyone can improve.
Every company SAYS they’re ethical when nothing’s on the line, but Colony DOES the right thing no matter what it costs us.
Assuming that everything will work itself out is an invitation for failure. Be proactive and get into the details.
No matter what the cost, everyone we work with will go home healthy to their families every day.
Talk is cheap; follow-through takes effort. Commit to a plan, execute, and own the results.
