Core Values — HIPDoPE

At Quartz Imaging, we are:

01. Honest

We always tell the truth and act with authenticity and integrity.
We don't BS or sugar coat. Our colleagues and clients depend on us to provide honest information so that they can make informed decisions. We acknowledge when we don't know something rather than pretending that we do. We seek the truth rather than making assumptions.
We are open with each other. If we need help or support, we ask. We communicate honestly both about our successes and our challenges.
If we make mistakes, we don't hide them, we own up to them and move on.
We pay attention to the little things – returning a borrowed item when promised, for example.
We demonstrate consistency in our work ethic – working as hard when someone isn't noticing, as when someone is.
We account honestly for our time and treat our clients and the company fairly.
We do what we say we will do.
When faced with decisions, we seek long-term solutions that are beneficial to all stakeholders. We always act in an ethical manner.

We are constantly learning. We operate in a field that changes constantly. We keep up with changes in technology, the needs of our customers and the competitive landscape. Each of us works to stay current in his or her profession.
We recognize that everything we do can be done better and we are open to new ideas and techniques that allow us to improve.
