Our Core Values

Trust and respect for employees

We believe that most people want to do a good job and will do so, given the proper tools and support. We attract highly capable, diverse, innovative people and regularly recognize their efforts and contributions to the company.  HPT folks contribute enthusiastically and share in the success that they make possible.

Focus on a high level of achievement and contribution

Our customers expect HPT products and services to be of the highest quality and to provide lasting value. To achieve this, all HPT people, especially managers, must be leaders who generate enthusiasm and respond with extra effort to meet customer needs. Techniques and management practices which are effective today may be outdated in the future. For us to remain at the forefront in all our activities, people should always be looking for new and better ways to do their work.

Conduct our business with uncompromising integrity

We expect HPT folks to be open and honest in their dealings to earn the trust and loyalty of others. People at every level are expected to adhere to the highest standards of business ethics and must understand that anything less is unacceptable. As a practical matter, ethical conduct cannot be assured by written HPT policies and codes; it must be an integral part of the organization, a deeply ingrained tradition that is passed from one generation of employees to another.

Achieve our common objectives through teamwork

We recognize that it is only through effective cooperation within and among our Partner Ecosystem that we can achieve our goals. Our commitment is to work as a team to fulfill the expectations of our customers, partners, and employees. The benefits and obligations of doing business are shared among all HPT folks.

Encourage flexibility and innovation

We create an inclusive work environment which supports the diversity of our people and stimulates innovation. We strive for overall objectives which are clearly stated and agreed upon and allow people flexibility in working toward goals in ways that they help determine are best for the organization. HPT folks should personally accept responsibility and be encouraged to upgrade their skills and capabilities through ongoing training and development. This is especially important in a technical business where the rate of progress is rapid and where people are expected to adapt to change.
