Our Core Values

Core Values imbue the culture and ethos of an organization and influence how it pursues its mission and how it determines its strategic priorities. Core Values also
provide guidance for management and staff in discharging their responsibilities and
conducting their day-to-day operations.

These are the Core Values of DPS that we encourage all members of the organization to work by as representatives of DPS interacting with clients and colleagues.

Continuous Improvement

Continuous improvement is the Core Value that imbues and integrates all the other Core Values of DPS and is central to all aspects of our operations. We are committed to a process of continuous improvement in terms of quality management, operational efficiency and competitive advantage, supported by quality assurance processes and procedures, lessons learned from experience, and continuing staff development.

Relationships with Clients

Without clients there would be no DPS. Our success is based first and foremost on the development of strong, long term relationships with clients. Successful long term client relationships are based on trust and confidence and the consistent delivery of quality services, and are sustained by listening to the client, responding to client needs, a single minded commitment to client service and respect for client confidentiality.

Value for Money

We are committed to delivering value for money to every client on every project.

Technical Quality / Professional Standards

We do not compromise on quality. A dedication to technical quality is central to the
successful operation of DPS, supported by the professional and technical skills of staff and compliance with established professional standards, health and safety regulations and standard operating procedures.

Respect, Teamwork and Communication

Respect and support for colleagues is the foundation of good teamwork that is central to our success. Teamwork is supported by an environment of open communications, by a shared focus on objectives, and by a culture of loyalty, respect and support for staff and colleagues. Teamwork also incorporates a spirit of ‘shoulders to the wheel’ when the pressure is on.

Adaptability and Flexibility

A culture of adaptability and flexibility is a distinctive Core Value and is supported by our other Core Values, in particular by our single minded commitment to client service, a spirit of teamwork, respect for colleagues, an informal work environment and an absence of internal politics.

Development and Reward

Our success is based on our people, on their skills, expertise, experience, commitment and performance. DPS expects individuals to take ownership of
responsibilities, offers challenge and opportunities for continuous improvement, supports individual development and advancement, and rewards performance.
