The five values of our culture

We created a Values in Action framework to help bring our values to life within our day-to-day experiences at PDMS.

There are five values on which the PDMS culture is based: 

  • We are open
  • We do the right thing
  • We are committed
  • We create value
  • We are a team

Our values guide how we behave and act, so it's important that they flow through each member of our team and every part of our day-to-day business. We aim to embody our values in our interactions with our clients, suppliers, partners and each other. 

Below is an overview of our values in action and how you can be part of our cultural identity. 

We are open

We encourage conversation, honest debate, and constructive challenge. We welcome new ideas, listen carefully with an open mind, and speak thoughtfully and honestly. 

Staff behaviours include: 

  • Build strong relationships and mutual trust with all colleagues and team members
  • Share your knowledge and be open to learning and feedback from others
  • Take responsibility for their work and behaviour
  • Behave transparently in all work situations and environments
