Mission and Values

How we work together.

When our leadership team wanted to define that set of values that would be both authentic and aspirational–a guide to being our best–they looked to our employees for help. Over the course of a year, we organized five in-person workshops, where leadership sought input and feedback from over 150 employees from all regions, departments, and levels. The project culminated in the launch of the mission and values below, along with the establishment of the Carmel Values Committee to ensure the integration of our values into the daily fabric of life at Carmel, and to sustain our focus on living these values long after the workshops were done.
