About Us Living Our Values

We Build on a
Foundation
of Trust

By combining open communication with an all minds-in, all hands-on approach, Clark Contracting Services is changing the way our built environment is realized.

01 Competence

We possess the skills and ability to do what you are currently doing or propose to do.

  • Performing consistently to the satisfaction of others against agreed upon standards.
  • Developing and supporting others where that is part of your role, seniority, and ability.
  • Knowing where you are competent and openly saying “I don’t know” if appropriate.

02 Reliability

We meet the commitments you make and keep our promises.

  • Being on time for scheduled meetings and deliverables.
  • Doing what you say you will do by the promised deadline. If for some reason completion is at risk, others are notified prior to the due date/time.

03 Sincerity

We are honest. We say what we mean and mean what we say.

  • Raising concerns or offering feedback immediately. While valuing candor, openness, and transparency over conflict avoidance, but in a respectful manner.
  • Bringing “background conversations” (what you are thinking) to the “foreground” (what you say out loud) tactfully so you are in genuine alignment with the team.
  • Listening to and repeating back the views or concerns of others so that they are better heard and understood.

04 Care

We have the other’s interests in mind as well as our own when we make decisions and take actions.

  • Asking for feedback on your relationships to ensure collaboration and teaming with others.
  • Building supportive and diverse teams for future promotion opportunities.
  • Going out of your way to lift others up and help teammates who might be struggling.

Recognizing Clark’s
Values in Action

Defining our company’s core values is just the first step. The real challenge is implementing them in our work, each day. The Living Our Values Award is given to Clark team members on a quarterly basis who walk the walk in their work, with their clients, and with each other. Congratulations to our Q1 2023 recipients, you inspire all of us!

LIVING OUR VALUES

Community
Engagement

At Clark, we believe in giving back to the communities in which we live and work. We understand that it is not only our responsibility but also a privilege to work closely with the people and organizations that make these communities thrive. Our community engagement initiatives aim to make a positive impact in the areas of mentoring, environmental, community development, and social justice. Each of our four offices take part in quarterly events that impact on a local level. As a company, we participate in giving back to the United Way as our philanthropy.
