“An organization’s true value is not defined by revenue growth or profitability. Those are important metrics for our business, but they are outcomes of a higher purpose. The mission is to add real value to the people’s lives who work here.
–Kevin Hancock, President + CEO
Hancock Lumber kicked off 2018 with a refreshed mission and values statement. Through a weekly series of blog posts, we will be communicating our 7 core values that define our culture. Simply put, culture is who we are and how we work, and we love the long-term nature of our business partnerships with co-workers, customers, and vendors. We believe that when you share your values and goals broadly, you are able to connect on a deeper level . Thank you for listening and being a part of Team Hancock!
