Here is my Ten Commitments Checklist that I use to help ensure a better employee fit. It's one of the many tips & tricks I learned from Merit that I have incorporated into my everyday thinking.
  1. Making things that benefit the company, stakeholders, and the community happen.
  2. Serving others and making those they work with better.
  3. Minimizing the negatives and seizing the opportunities.
  4. Believing in your company's core values, operating principles and doing the right thing.
  5. Believing in the vision, mission and purpose of your company and its stakeholders.
  6. Integrating any personal experience, family and other interest which helps contribute to a more enjoyable workplace.
  7. Really caring for team members, stakeholders, vendors, partners and the community.
  8. Always giving their best effort to the company and the many others they interact with.
  9. Willing and able to realign priorities as required to get the job done right.
  10. A long consistent track record for great work.
