Integrity
Integrity is synonymous with Nabholz. It’s written on our logo and embedded in the work we do every day, whether with clients or with coworkers. To that end, we always do what is right. We don’t cut corners, and we stand behind our work.
To uphold the high standards of integrity established by our founder Bob Nabholz, all Nabholz team members are expected to uphold our 10 Canons of Ethics at all times, without exception.
10 Canons of Ethics
Honor your commitments, keep your appointments.
Admit mistakes, ask for help if you are not qualified or capable to perform a task.
Accuracy of reporting (time sheets, expense requests, job cost, schedules, etc.).
Honest and direct feedback to employees concerning their performance
Treat others as you would expect to be treated (golden rule).
Applies to personal conduct in public, even away from work.
Perform all tasks with care and quality.
Firm but fair with employees (expectations, job assignments, promotions, etc.).
Firm but fair with specialty contractors and suppliers (procurement and performance).
Use of specialty contractor or supplier trinkets/hats/clothing implies favoritism.
Firm but fair with clients in accordance with agreements, plans, and specifications.
Disclose potential conflicts of interest to supervisors in advance (ownership, relatives, etc.)
Potential conflicts with specialty contractors or suppliers.
Potential conflicts with client representatives.
Influence specialty contractors and suppliers for personal gain.
Use of company equipment, materials, business machines, etc. without permission
If offers you receive don’t feel just right, they’re probably not. Just say “no thanks.”
Remember, your clients also abide by ethical standards. Don’t put them in a bad position.
Negotiate good deals and spend company money wisely, as if it were yours.
Utilize equipment and materials with care and efficiency, as if they were yours.
Know and understand company policies.
Preach and teach policies to others.
If you disagree with a policy, lead the charge to have it changed.
Don’t abuse conducting personal business while on the clock.
Abide by company policies for vacation, holidays, and sick pay.
Give your best effort to the best of your abilities.
Discuss ethical concerns with those who act inappropriately.
Get counsel or advice from an employee you trust.
Consult with Employee Services (confidential).
Confide in your supervisor, senior manager, operation president, or CEO/COO/CFO (confidential).
If you have knowledge of ethical breaches and fail to act, you could be considered an accomplice.
People First
As mentioned in our guiding principles, we are dedicated to growing our people. Our focus on integrity has spawned our people-first culture, leading to the development of our robust safety, wellness, and career development programs.
You’ll also find that by putting people first, Nabholz has teams across our footprint that work together, collaborate, and genuinely enjoy the work we do — all for the good of our fellow employees and the company as a whole.
Transparent and Open
We make a point to share information with you as much and as often as we can. Access to support services, leadership, and our executive team is open and easy so that you may ask questions when needed.
We also understand that open communication goes both ways! We want your feedback, and will often ask for it in surveys, team meetings, and more.
Food and Fellowship
You will soon discover food and fellowship might as well be part of our company name. We like food. And we like to cook – whether it’s for the whole company, a specific jobsite, or for our clients and subcontractors. We know how to have a good time just as well as we know how to construct a building.
