Core Values

An Exceptional Value System
From the company’s beginning, QED's employees have been the key to its success. The QED team is a group of dedicated, driven individuals that strives to make the fullest contribution possible. The exceptional strength of the company’s core values has fostered an atmosphere of mutual respect and personal growth.

Our values guide our decisions, behaviors and actions.  Our performance as a company and as individuals is measured by both our results and our behaviors.  To achieve overall business success, we look to the following values:

Integrity
We are always honest and ethical in all our dealings with all of our employees, customers, business partners, suppliers, competitors and other stakeholders.  We adhere to all laws and regulations that govern our business practices.

Respect
We value people's differences and diverse opinions, which helps us to learn from each other.  It is important that we treat people fairly and respect their need for a work/life balance.  We provide honest, constructive, and discrete feedback when and where it's needed.

Courage
We have both the strength and willingness to take risks and do what is right.

Accountability
We take ownership and responsibility for our actions and performance.  We learn from our mistakes and celebrate our successes.  Taking initiative to make a difference and help one another allows us focus on results.

Excellence
We value the talent, ambition, and drive of each employee to be his or her best and to achieve superior results.
