Human Resources Manager

CULTURE:

Key to the success of the organizations aspirations is an inclusive and aligned culture that supports the mission and vision of the organization. The cultural aspiration of the organization, therefore, is one where Purpose, Results and Caring are at the forefront of the norms and behaviors of the culture. This represents an almost perfectly symmetrical integration of the two original cultures. “Purpose” being the most dominant cultural norm

reflects the shared understanding: that the transformative potential of the Alliance is larger than just the impact we can have on individuals with one product, but on their surrounding systems & communities. “Results” in second position reflects how healthy competitive drive, our strive for excellence and impact. “Caring” represents our fundamental compassion for the people we serve and for one another, not in spite of the diversity among

us, but because of that diversity among us.
