Core Values and Guiding Principles

S&S exists to inspire the success, fulfillment, and wellbeing of each person we serve: our stakeholders, and their families, business partners, clients, and our community. This statement drives everything we do, and we are committed to your personal fulfillment and professional successes. That’s why we developed three core values and three guiding principles that nurture this purpose:

PASSION

We are driven by passion. It gives our work purpose and gives new meaning to what we do. And working with passion is more than a mindset-it’s a transformative experience that makes us proud of what we accomplish.

COMMITMENT

Commitment takes dedication and passion. But it also requires us to place the interests of others ahead of our own, while acting as a positive influence on those around us. We believe that everyone is a valuable part of our team – and that everyone can commit to support each other.

COMPETENCY

Learning and improving is a lifelong process, spurred by a healthy curiosity of the world around us. By asking questions, seeking answers, and applying what we learn, we push ourselves further down the path of personal growth and development.

INTEGRITY

We pride ourselves on acting in the best interest of our clients. Our reputation is important to us… it is everything in the world of business. Doing the right thing is not just a phrase, it is a way of life at Starkweather.

RESPECT

It all starts with respect. Respect leads to strong teams, with stakeholders pulling in the same direction. Respect leads to innovation with future-focused insight and evolves through the application of a creative vision. Every member of our team can imagine better ways to work, collaborate, and advance our goals. Achieving this starts with respect.

TRUST

Trust the Trust. It is what we say, it is how we are run and it is what we live. We trust you to do what is right, to commit, to support, to achieve. You trust us to be transparent, to lead, to drive, to guide. Trust goes both ways. Trust is our foundation.
