Goodwill Citizenship Behaviors

The Goodwill Citizenship Behaviors guide the way we act toward each other, our customers and our clients.

Be kind.To everyone.
Be open.We welcome new opinions, suggestions, ideas and knowledge brought about by the diversity of our workforce. We listen with an open mind when someone has a different perspective than our own.
Be consistent.We do what we say and we say what we do. In all situations, we treat everyone with the same respect and trust.
Be flexible.We understand that change is a part of all of our lives. We work through it together to make things better for ourselves and our Goodwill.
Listen to understand.It is hard to walk in someone else’s shoes – to fully understand what they are going through. But we try, with respect – to hear, to understand, to encourage, and to acknowledge each other.
Speak up.Sharing can make a difference, especially when it’s difficult to share. When we see that something is not quite right, we speak up about it – respectfully. It shows that we care.
Offer praise.We are generous in praise of teammates for their positive work contributions and accomplishments.
Own it.We accept and are honest about our behavior. We don’t place blame. We always seek to learn from mistakes.
