Culture & vibe

We achieve our purposes by adhering to our values, which define who we are and how we act. Every day we practice our purposes and values to live out the Chatham culture.

• Act with integrity and honesty. We strive to align our thoughts, speech, and actions so that we do what is right, just, and fair, even when no one is looking. We will be honest with each other, with our clients, and with ourselves, regardless of the consequences.
• Respect each individual. We want to treat each other with respect and dignity. We strive to serve our fellow team members and help them achieve their full potential. We respect that a person’s life outside of work is important.
• Do excellent work. We strive to do the best work possible. We believe that good is the enemy of great and will not be satisfied with mediocrity.
• Work together. Individual success is best achieved through team success and a focus on “we” rather than “me.” We work to accomplish great things together and share information freely.
• Build long-term relationships. We always invest in our relationships with our clients, business partners, and team members with a long-term perspective in mind. Recognizing that trust is a critical element in any long-term relationship, we seek to earn and develop it with others.
