OUR VALUES

WORK HARD | LIVE WELL - We work hard. Like really, really hard. We are high achievers who do what needs to be done to complete the task at hand. We believe in being “present where your feet are”. When we’re at work, we crush it, we produce big, needle-moving results. When we’re not at work we live well, enjoy ourselves and reconnect with our personal values.

 

YOU CAN SIT WITH US - We are fanatical about inclusion in both our company and our community. We strive to be an organization filled with folks who are genuinely awesome people with a lot to give, and who know they and what they bring are valued.

 

BETTER THAN YESTERDAY - We are growth-minded. We believe that our only competition is who we were yesterday. We geek out over personal development and vision boards and reaching every day to achieve more than we thought we could.   

 

PLAN TO SUCCEED - We are intentional. We focus on results, not to-do’s. We are clear in our expectations. We anticipate. We believe that you can achieve anything if you are focused, hard-working and have a roadmap.

 

WE BELIEVE IN SERVICE - We are giving. We believe to whom much is given, much is expected. We believe in showing up for others with our hands, our hearts and our finances. We give 3% of the company NET Revenue away in service of those who need it, and we aspire to increase that as High Peak continues to grow.

 

WE CHOOSE JOY - Every. Freaking. Day. We choose a positive outlook. We choose to ground ourselves in gratitude. We want to work in an environment with amazing energy-- the kind you can feel when you walk through the door.

 

WE ACT WITH AUTHENTICITY AND TRANSPARENCY – We are in the people business! People and relationships matter, and we are here to make everybody’s lives better!  We’re not always the best solution for everyone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make everybody’s lives a little bit better.  When we treat every person the way we’d want to be treated, doing good just comes naturally.

 

WE’RE ALL ABOUT AWESOME COMPANY CULTURE: We aim to make an impact in the lives of our team members and those in the communities that we serve. We actively and fiercely focus on bettering the lives, growth, and opportunities of each and every team member - both personally and in their career. We maintain and celebrate a winning culture that is focused on great results and recognition of our wins. Moreover, as a company we value and prioritize creating an environment that is fun to work in for all team members.

 

WE BELIEVE IN HEALTHY GROWTH: Consistent and predictable financial growth, with an emphasis on a growth rate that makes us inspired to get up every day and bring it with excellence, but also that is healthy, sustainable, and doesn't put unhealthy stress, risk, or demands on our team.
