5. EGALITARIANISM AND UNITY
In our company, we believe that each individual should have equal privileges and rights. In all our countries and all our businesses there should be no ‘them and us’.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
1. OWNERSHIP
We believe each individual in our company should have the opportunity to share in the company’s success through outcome-based incentives, profit share, BOS (franchises) and Employee and Leadership Share Schemes. It is important that business leaders and business team members see the business they run as their business.
2. INCENTIVES
Incentives are based on measurable and reliable outcome-based KPIs. We believe that ‘what gets rewarded, gets done’. A reward for producing the needed outcome. If the right outcomes are rewarded, our company and our people will prosper.
3. OUR STANDARD SYSTEMS – ONE BEST WAY
In our business there is always ‘one best way’ to operate. These are standard systems employed universally until a better way is shown. This improved way becomes the ‘one best way system’. We value common sense over conventional wisdom.
4. FAMILY, VILLAGE, TRIBE
Our structure is simple, lean, flat and transparent, with accessible leaders. Our business Model is being one of the worlds best and biggest small business operators.
