Ann Arbor - Code Of Values

DreamMaker’s bottom line is people.

We believe if we treat people with respect and integrity, success will follow. Our Code of Values™ is central to who we are and the way we try to conduct ourselves in business and in life. The Code of Values™ is not just something that hangs on the wall. We have a system for keeping the Code of Values™ in place. It’s a living, breathing philosophy based on timeless principles. We know it is impossible to live these values perfectly, but we can live them with excellence — meaning when we miss one, we are willing to be held accountable in a respectful way. The Code of Values™ informs the way DreamMaker treats you, our customer. We hope you will see the difference.

The DreamMaker Code of Values™

We believe...

in superior service to our customers, our community and to each other as members of the DreamMaker team.
in counting our blessings every day in every way.
success is the result of clear, cooperative, positive thinking.
that loyalty adds meaning to our lives.
management should seek out and recognize what people are doing right, and treat every associate with respect.
challenges should be used as learning experiences.
our Creator put us on this earth to succeed. We will accept our daily successes humbly, knowing that a higher power is guiding us.
in the untapped potential of every human being. Every person we help achieve their potential fulfills our mission.
we must re-earn our positions every day in every way.
in building our country through the free enterprise system. We demonstrate this belief by continually attracting strong people to the DreamMaker team.
