6. Embrace and Drive Change To quote Charles Darwin “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” We not only expect constant change, we embrace it. We are well aware that today’s professional healthcare environment is fast-paced and anything but static. We require change to maintain our competitive edge and to meet the needs of our clients and stakeholders. We never settle into a position of comfort but are always brainstorming and implementing ways to strengthen the efficiency of our systems and procedures. 7. Professional Development As an evidence-based practice, we view continuing education and learning as vital ingredients of quality services. We are aware that as our industry and profession change, continuing education and training are required in order to develop and provide the latest and most effective treatment practice. 8. Passion Driven Our passion for mental health and The Amethyst Way keeps us going. We believe in what we are doing and where we’re going. We see behavioral and emotional problems in our society through a psychotherapeutic lens and are positive and optimistic that the resolution of these problems lies in effective and accessible treatment. It is because of our passion that we are eager to educate the public, advocate for the vulnerable, and provide the most effective mental health treatment possible. 9. Integrity We are each personally accountable for the highest standards of professional behavior and ethics, including transparency, honesty, and fairness in all aspects of our work. We fulfill our commitments and are accountable for our actions, successes, and failures. We will consistently treat our clients, colleagues, stakeholders and company resources with the dignity, compassion, and respect they deserve. 10. Work Hard, Play Hard Because we believe in the dignity of hard work, as a rule, we do more than expected. We make the extra effort and never give up. It is easy for us to “do what needs to be done”, “go the extra mile”, and “make it happen” because our work is our passion. We set standards and examples of hard work for new and existing team members, knowing that this builds team spirit and produces better clinical outcomes. We are never satisfied with just enough. Because the challenge is great, having fun in the workplace is all the more important. A fun work environment boosts morale and encourages positive, energetic, and enthusiastic team members. We sponsor employee activities to strengthen relationships, celebrate successes, and to simply decompress. People don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care
