OUR BUSINESS PRINCIPLES
Our Principles are fundamental to the way we operate and how we recruit, evaluate and compensate our people. Our 6 Principles are:
CUSTOMERS FIRST, EMPLOYEES SECOND, SHAREHOLDERS THIRD
This reflects our choice of what’s important in the order of priority. Only by creating sustained customer value can employees grow and shareholders achieve long-term benefit.
TRUST MAKES EVERYTHING SIMPLE
Trust is both the most precious and fragile thing in the world. The story of Ndiema is a story of building and cherishing trust. Complexity begets complexity, and simplicity breeds simplicity. Aliren are straightforward – what you see is what you get. With trust, there is no second-guessing or suspicion, and the result is simplicity and efficiency.
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
Whether you change or not, the world is changing, our customers are changing and the competitive landscape is changing. We must face change with respect and humility. Otherwise, we will fail to see it, fail to respect it, fail to understand it and fail to catch up with it. Whether you change yourself or create change, both are the best kinds of change. Embracing change is the most unique part of our DNA.
TODAY’S BEST PERFORMANCE IS TOMORROW’S BASELINE
In Ndiema’s most challenging times, this spirit has helped us overcome difficulties and survive. In bad times, we know how to motivate ourselves; in good times, we dare to set “dream targets” (stretch goals). Face the future, or we regress. We must shoot for the moon, challenge ourselves, motivate ourselves and exceed ourselves.
IF NOT NOW, WHEN? IF NOT ME, WHO?
This was a tagline in Ndiema’s first job advertisement and became our first proverb. It is not a question, but a call of duty. This proverb symbolizes the sense of ownership that each Aliren must possess.
LIVE SERIOUSLY, WORK HAPPILY
Work is now, life is forever. What you do in your job is up to you, but you have responsibility to the ones who love you. Enjoy work as you enjoy life; treat life seriously as you do work. If you live with purpose, you will find reward. You make Ndiema different and make your loved ones proud. Everyone has their own view of work and life; we respect each person’s choice. Whether you live by this value depends on how you live your life.
