Culture
At GPI we know that our most valuable resource is the relationships we form with our coworkers, customers, vendors, and partners. We employ these core cultural values and practices to gain, grow, and nurture those relationships.
Company Culture No. 1
We show courtesy and respect by being responsive to the needs of others. We answer our phones. We return emails and informational requests as quickly and accurately as possible. We anticipate concerns and proactively prepare to address them. We tell the truth. We say what we do, and we do what we say. We value the effort that others put in and show appreciation at every level of our business. We make and keep commitments. We are accountable to each other. We fulfill our individual tasks as well as work as a team to improve our company and serve our customers.
Company Culture No. 2
We strive to be the best in our industry in every way and develop relationships based on the value that we bring. We make decisions with the long view in mind. We buy, sell, and build to be the best, focusing on quality and longevity. We are constantly looking for ways to improve, and we are anxiously engaged in seeking out new opportunities to help our customers be successful.
Company Culture No. 3
We create an environment that people want to be in and around. We understand that a happy and healthy work/life balance is essential to long term relationships. We value family time and flexibility. We take time to celebrate our successes as a company and the traditions of the year.
Company Culture No. 4
We collect data and make informed decisions based on that data, not instinct and emotion. We focus on decisions that have the most impact and seek to drive those decisions through implementation with pace and purpose. We are open to new ideas from all sources. We thoughtfully consider how our decisions impact coworkers, customers, and vendors.
Company Culture No. 5
We exist because of our customers. When customers feel important, they can tell that we care. We design, build, sell and service all our products to the maximum benefit of our customers. We seek out and develop relationships with the best companies to partner with and treat them like family. Our sales philosophy has accurately been described in these simple words…
“We make friends and sell products to them.”
