In this brief segment, Curt Janzen explains how his organization spent several years clarifying its corporate DNA and core values. He describes a large, one‑day workshop that invited every employee along with their spouses, children, and extended family members to collaboratively identify the company’s core values and the emotional experience those values should create. The key takeaway he shares is that the exercise reinforced the company’s commitment to making its people feel like the top priority.

Over the last number of years, we've really tried to define what our DNA is, who we are as a company, what we want to be. And one of the things that we did a few years ago is we brought in everybody, like our staff, their spouses, significant others, kids, uncles, aunts, whatever. And we did a massive one-day exercise to figure out what our core values were as a company and how that should make people feel. And really, at the end of it, the biggest thing I got out of it is we just want our people, the team, to feel like they're number one to us.
