Rules of attraction

Finding and recruiting new talent is a great challenge and a hot issue for most companies. Vilnius Conference Centre (VCC) - the company I run - is different, which is very pleasing. It was launched less than 4 weeks ago but there is already a list of candidates who would be interested to work for VCC. We haven't been actively looking for new people but they found us.

I worked at an international firm with a strong corporate brand and culture for quite a few years. Therefore, it seems only natural to build VCC on a similar set of standards.

I have come up with a list of things that should serve as a basis for VCC corporate culture. It is just the initial phase of its development and I would like to present it for your trial (blogging out:).

VCC Values, Rules and Guidelines

1. VCC is a smart company and employs smart people, runs smart projects and works with smart clients.

2. VCC is open, dynamic and flexible.

3. VCC core values are:
- High professonal standards
- Enthusiasm
- Positive attitude
- Effective and efficient teamwork
- Partnership-based relationships with all stakeholders: employees, clients, suppliers, competitors, etc.

4. We never say No or Never, we say We have to think and come back with an answer.


This list is not exhaustive, it is a constant "work-in-progress". Let me have your comments and ideas!
