Our Vision
“To be the best at what we do: making a positive difference to the environment and the people who work with us.”
Our Values
To ensure their widespread acceptance, URS’ values were established by our staff and are not changeable at the discretion by management.
- Safety - We will provide a safe working environment for our staff and others affected by our operations with an objective of attaining zero accidents.
- Excellence - We operate in an environment in which we depend on each other to achieve excellence and therefore produce the best results for our customers. Cooperation and continuous development are therefore crucial in order to achieve excellence in what we do.
- Integrity - We are respected by our customers for our integrity. We will ensure that we act responsibly, both internally and externally, to ensure that advice and design is undertaken within legal and statutory frameworks.
- Empowerment - We will provide our employees with opportunities to develop and give them the skills to do their jobs effectively. If we make mistakes, then we will learn from them and will not apportion blame. We will share lessons learnt through allowing people the freedom to suggest new ways of doing things.
- Sustainability - We will encourage our clients and employees to consider sustainability within design, build and aftercare.
Our Behaviours
URS’ behaviours underpin our values and guide the way we act. They are critical to the success of URS as they define who we are. The behaviours are now an established part of our staff appraisal system and remain an integral part of performance reviews.
- Communication - Communicating clearly and concisely, tailoring and style, promoting free-flowing communication.
- Teamwork - Working successfully with others, valuing and utilizing the different skills and expertise of others, building interdependence to achieve shared goals.
- Mutual Respect - Building relationships and confidence in others to achieve success for the business, through trust. This is the basis for ensuring support, buy in and gaining influence in order to achieve business objectives.
- Enthusiasm - Building confidence, directing, guiding and inspiring people to achieve success for the organisation.
- Honesty - Valuing openness and building trust with our clients, colleagues and other stakeholders.
- Commercial Awareness - Striving to be the best, continually delivering, measuring and improving excellence for clients and stakeholders.
