Our People Are Our Strategy

 The “V” in our S.E.R.V.I.C.E. Principles states:

The long-term viability of our business depends on being a low-cost producer, which includes economies of scale, purchasing power, and efficiencies. Our long-term viability depends on having a strong workforce ready to work and lead. Our People are our strategy.

Our previous leadership team message on Viability focused on the details of our low-cost producer strategy, but we know that it is our high-performance teams that achieve business viability. Being transparent is an element used to shed light on the current state while communicating business needs and setting common achievable goals in which strategic planning is used for implementation. Most times this creates change, which is sometimes not easy since the status quo can be comfortable. Empowering individuals to express and implement their ideas, as well as seeing the outcome from their contribution, gives a sense of ownership and self-satisfaction. Within our business we strive to find alternative ways to “beat the competition” through operational excellence by building teams with the same vision and high energy.

We are proud to see how these concepts are implemented in all the Reed Family Companies. Thus, our people are our strategy!
