Values
In fulfilling our mission, we focus on the following values.
We treat ourselves and others with respect:
- we treat every person equally, regardless of their gender and ethnic, religious, social or other affiliations;
- we respect each person’s fundamental rights to personal freedom, personal fulfilment, privacy and a sense of security;
- we recognise differences in thinking and behaviour, as long as they do not conflict with other people’s fundamental rights;
- we do not accept emotional or physical violence and show courage in standing up to them;
We encourage people with special needs to live a full life:
- we encourage our clients to be active and to participate in the community;
- we include the client’s loved ones, friends and colleagues and work with them in order to create a supportive network for the client;
- we value our client’s progress in coping with life and inspire them to make further efforts;
- we help our clients organise their lives instead of organising their lives for them;
We are resourceful in our work:
- we get to know our client’s special needs and strengths and know how to place ourselves in their shoes in order to better understand and guide them;
- along with specialists, we look for and test working methods that help us to provide our clients with the individual service they need;
- we work to further our knowledge and skills in order to be ready for changes in the surrounding environment;
- we allow for mistakes if they mean that we learn to provide a better service, and we also share our experiences with others;
We are trustworthy companions:
- we are professional, diligent and responsible in our work;
- we value one another’s work efforts and we care about and support each other;
- we act openly and share information with our clients, colleagues and partners in a comprehensible manner;
- we are environmentally friendly so as to make our ecological footprint on Earth as small as possible;
- we stand by agreements and organisational rules and do not abuse the trust placed in us.
