Essential Attributes For Success

We live and breathe our 6 core values. They are essential not just for each individual’s success in their role, but also for the success of WP Telectronics as a whole.

1. Prioritize Safety – No job is so urgent or important that it can’t be done safely. Safety is in every decision and every action that we do

2. Do the Right Thing – Act with integrity in all situations

3. Be the Best – Never settle for good enough when it comes to productivity, quality, or safety.

4. Find a Better Way – Challenge the status quo. Without sacrificing safety, always look for a way to be a little bit more efficient, a little bit more productive, and produce a higher quality product

5. Support Each Other – Everyone has a part to play in our team’s success

6. Welcome the Challenge – Solving tough problems is what we do. It’s what separates us from the rest of the industry. Embrace the challenge and enjoy the ride
