Our Values and Mission Statement
As much as we work with feet, we’re always doing work in the background on the business.
(There’s another post coming up soon about the behind the scenes stuff that goes on here).
One of the things that we’ve looked at recently has been our mission statement and our values.
Now this sounds like big corporation speak, but having a thread that runs through the business and everything we do.
When in doubt, you ask “does this fit in with my values?”.
Values can be defined as:
principles or standards of behaviour; one’s judgement of what is important in life.
Or to put it another way, the way we view and communicate with the world.
Working out your values is an enlightening and enriching experience, and when we did that at Ratna Podiatry, these are the values that we were drawn to:
Empathy
Holistic
Community
Fun
Our Values.
Empathy because we try to understand the place that you are at (and work from there).
Holistic because you are more than a pair of feet and legs.
Community because we believe in people coming together to improve their health.
Fun because life is much better when we’re having fun.
You take those and weave them into a mission statement and we have this:
“Helping people of all ages to keep mobile and pain free, using first class practical and holistic approaches to foot and leg care.”
This exercise has been a fun and enlightening one, and we would advise anyone to spend time doing the same.
