The Swiftie Way
At Swift HR Solutions, our values are not just words on a coffee mug, but are at the heart of who we are and everything we do. They guide every decision, every interaction, and are demonstrated through the daily actions of every member of our team.
When going through a challenging business issue, or in the frenetic pace of scaling up, it's common for foundational principles to slip through the cracks. This is especially true when there is a lack of daily focus on who the organization is and who it isn’t. Neglecting company values can lead to disengagement, internal competition, undesired turnover, and even reduced profit margins.
In this blog post, we're peeling back the curtain to give you insight into our culture and values and how they show up on a daily basis for both our team and our Clients. Let’s take a look at our “SWIFT” values:
Service
We are dedicated to our Client’s success. We have incredible experience and expertise but leave our ego at the door. We meet our Client where they are and do whatever is needed to ensure a successful outcome. Our goal is that HR is supporting the business rather than distracting from it, so we perform our work through the lens of what is stage-appropriate and culturally-aligned for each Client.
“You stepped into a moment of intense need and not a little stress. You quickly added value and cultivated confidence among our team members, reassuring them that you were an expert and that you sincerely cared about them. Your expertise, advice and guidance made us better.”
Aaron B., CEO
Win-win-win
Our team chooses Clients to work with where we feel we belong and look forward to going (whether in person or virtually) each week. Our Clients get amazing HR expertise that they would want to hire on a full-time basis if it made sense financially to do so. The business matches those win-win situations and thrives as our Clients and Swifties do.
“I love working with Lynn. She has such a rigor around ensuring there is a clear vision and communicates really well with the team. She invests in leadership and career development and has all the best practices in place. She is a Client who clearly understands the value of strategic HR and makes it a priority.”
Nikki C., Swiftie, on working with her Client CEO
Integrity
Simply put, our words match our actions, and our actions match our words. Our Clients know what to expect from us. We are predictable in our approach to HR issues, whether working with a Board member, the CEO, the Executive team, or team members. We operate from a place of opportunity and abundance, always with a focus on what is in our Client’s best interest.
“Lisa is an exemplary HR professional: high integrity, interpersonal skills, and an acute ability to apply creativity and clarity to complex situations. Lisa is kind, sincere, thoughtful, and capable. While a consultant by title, she joins the organization like an employee, yet works and thinks like an owner.”
Aaron M., President & Owner
Fun
We have fun with our Clients and are serious about providing incredible HR service, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. We bring levity to intense situations, find ways to create fun experiences for our Client teams, and provide opportunities for stress relief. We are unlike any other HR resource our Clients/employees have worked with before – which is a good thing!
“Molly is the coach and advisor you want at your side. Anytime we have a complicated HR issue, she is able to quickly distill the facts and help us make sense of the right path forward. And working with her is always fun – she has a terrific sense of humor. Our team is so lucky to have Molly!”
Peter P., CEO
Trusted Advisor
Our team is highly experienced and professional, and focused on setting our Clients up for success. CEOs, board members, employees, and management team peers seek us out for our advice, opinions, resources, etc. Our recommendations may not always be taken, and we don’t own the outcome in the same way we would as a full-time, in-house, team member, but we know our input is valued and respected and we strive to earn our Clients’ trust every day.
“Karina has truly become a trusted business partner for me in many ways. She has supported and guided me through some of the company’s most difficult business challenges. I appreciate her work and style in which she carries out her/our business.”
Chi W., CEO
These values aren't just words; they're the foundation upon which we build every relationship and every interaction. We promise to uphold these values, not just for ourselves, but for you – our Clients, our partners, and our community.
