GrowSkills Core Values

GrowSkills Core Values

At GrowSkills, our culture and values define how we approach our work, interact with students and each other, and much more. Contrary to popular belief, culture isn’t about whether or not you drink Blue Bottle coffee, are good at foosball, or like certain movies. A good set of values is a decision-making framework—values should help team members make decisions between two good options.

At GrowSkills we have chosen three core values— Excellence,Teamwork and Leadership as the basis of our global corporate culture.

These values define how we want to conduct ourselves and our business, and help us to create value for our clients, our people and our organisation.

• Excellence :-
  " Means that we deliver what we promise-and add value that goes beyond what is expected. We achieve Excellence through Innovation, Learning and Agility. "
  
  1- Innovation : 
  Means developing creative solutions and putting them into action.
  Being the largest firm and establishing ourselves as clearly the best-in our industry means developing innovative ideas and putting them into practice successfully.
  
  2- Learning :
  We learn by continuously developing-and deepening-our knowledge of our business, and the skills of everyone within it. 
  
  3- Agility :
  Being alert to change and moving quickly and decisively to meet the challenges that emerge from such change; so that we provide our clients, and ourselves with a competitive edge.
   
• Teamwork :-
  " The best solutions come from working together with both colleagues and clients. Effective teamwork demands strong Relationships, Respect and Sharing. " 
  
  1- Relationships : 
  Building productive, long-term relationships with clients and each other.
  ​The way we treat each other in achieving our objectives is just as important as what we achieve. That's why our people enjoy working in GrowSkills and why our clients like us and enjoy working with us.
  
  2- Respect : 
  Embracing diverse cultures, communities and points of view.
  With offices in 157 countries and over 35 working languages, our people and our clients cover a wide diversity of cultures and communities.
  
  3- Sharing
  Readily sharing experience, resources and opportunities.
  The range and depth of the knowledge and the timelines with which we share it with our clients is fundamental to our success.
   
• Leadership : -
  " Means leading with clients and leading with people. Leadership in our business is defined by courage, personal integrity, and having a vision which inspires and motivates others. " 
  
  1- Courage :
  Seizing the initiative, and welcoming responsibility.
  Almost all of us, at every level, can play a leadership role. We want our leaders to speak out, make themselves visible, and promote their views. They must be creative, thoughtful and innovative, but they must also be accountable and take responsibility for their actions.
  
  2- Vision
  Seeing the bigger picture.
  We don't just want people with courage, we want people with vision, in other words, people with a clear idea of what they would like to achieve.
  
  3- Integrity
  Being trustworthy and honourable.
  Integrity, honesty, and accountability are at the core of our business. We adhere absolutely to the independence and objectivity requirements under which we do business.
   

1. Provide a great work environment and treat each other with respect and dignity.
2. Embrace diversity as an essential component in the way we do business.
3. Apply the highest standards of excellence to the Examination and Test prep.
4. Develop enthusiastically satisfied customers all the time.
5. Contribute positively to our communities and our environment.
6. Recognize that profitability is essential to our future success.

We believe, as an GrowSkills Examination Institute , that we will be able to help each student to improve and change their life through the acquisition of English language skills and Examination . Also, we will provide English learners with student-exchange programs where they will be able to travel abroad to study and engage with English-speaking cultures. Moreover, we will present our services and spread our concepts in the Arab world, reaching all of the middle-eastern countries.

It all started with an idea that initiated from a passion for helping others, that is, helping society. We do believe in the social role every single person holds towards his/her society. The question at the time was, what can we do to be a real society helper? That made us think of a skill we possess that can help us benefit others.

In our case, the matter was achieving both targets in terms of benefiting society and at the same time making profit. And that is what we call “a healthy profit”. In other words, we thought of profiting from benefiting society. For us, it was not just a business to run for profit. The idea has gone far and beyond; we had a vision that we tactfully set.

In true nerd fashion, we’ve turned our values into inequalities—we are test prep experts after all! The left side represents the GrowSkills way, and the right side represents another good way, just not our way. Knowing what you aren’t is as important as knowing what you are.

• Done > Perfect :
  1- We have a bias toward action. We don’t delay for perfect tomorrow what can be done well today. 
  2- We believe in the Pareto principle. We try to achieve 80% of the impact with 20% of the effort. 
   
• Data > Intuition :
  1- We run experiments to test ideas and gather data. We’re scientists! 
  2- We collect feedback often since we don’t read minds…well
