At the Blank Family of Businesses, our Core Values drive our culture, guide our decisions, and make our organization a great place to work.

GIVE BACK TO OTHERS
Recognize that the well-being of business cannot be separated from the well-being of society. Join in our ongoing eff­orts to give back through time, talents, labor and financial commitment.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit that supports our culture and vision. Take full advantage of our empowerment philosophy by o­ffering suggestions, making decisions and taking responsibility for actions. Stand up for your convictions and vocalize your opinions.

INNOVATE CONTINUOUSLY
Constantly seek new ways to improve results and move above and beyond what seems possible. Demonstrate non-stop reinvention. Do not let unnecessary bureaucracy kill innovation. Implement high quality, new processes, products, services, or solutions that meet or exceed the needs and expectations of our customers.

PUT PEOPLE FIRST
Demonstrate understanding that people are the center, the heartbeat of any successful enterprise. Build rapport and trust by demonstrating sensitivity and respect for others. Empower and listen to associates because they are our number-one source for information and ideas. Invest time and resources in developing associates’ skills and assisting them in managing their careers.

LISTEN AND RESPOND
Listen to internal and external customers (fans, grantees, players, associates, vendors, partners) to understand what they need. View customer needs as golden opportunities that, when creatively addressed, will enhance our competitive edge and the environment in which we all work and professionally grow. Dedicate the needed resources, time and energy to creating lasting value for all customers.

INCLUDE EVERYONE
Our individual diff­erences make our organization more valuable. Value diverse ideas, experiences, skills, work styles and backgrounds. Harness individual diff­erences to create a competitive advantage and better support our partners. Encourage others to accept and capitalize on diversity.
