CrossWinds Staff Values
January/03/2020 06:24 PM Filed in: CrossWinds
As we took on new staff, I developed core values to define the way our staff team works together. I have a different member of the staff teach a different core value each month. The goal is to remind us of the value and help the staff take ownership of the value in their lives. Below is a copy of the poster that hangs in the office of our campuses.
