Wood Based Products philosophy is:

Authenticity

Our values tell the world how to do business. What we say is only credible when it is also the way we act.

Vision

We built our business to Outperform. This also symbolises our vision and our reputation. We need to constantly advance this vision of ourselves. We seek to undertake the most challenging business and we guarantee a better performance and value-add for our clients and stakeholders than any of our competitors.

Alignment

Vision and strategies are not existing without plans and goals. We need to continually implement plans and establish objectives that are aligned to our vision of our business and shared across regions and boarders.

People

We value people - this is a key asset of our business. We create an environment where people are motivated to be the best they can be, and provide the opportunities and support they need to reach their potential. We understand that people come with their own individual qualities and are driven by different motivations, so we look for ways to leverage their unique strengths to build our talent from within. We respect that having a healthy balance between work and life outside of work is critical to people’s effectiveness and our organisational performance.

Statesmanship

Our reputation set us apart and make us one of the most readily identified businesses in our industry. We are all responsible for this reputation and we all take ownership of the respect and trust with which we are held in the industry and broader community. Our people are our brand. The manner in which we relate to clients, suppliers, government stakeholders and opinion leaders directly impacts on our brand and our reputation.

Communication

Communication is not just one way. We have learnt that the best communicators are also the best listeners. Our communication begins with listening. We listen to our clients, we listen to our employees and we listen to our stakeholders. We use informal communication as much as formal methods. We encourage open discussion. Reliable, accurate and honest information are the keys for crucial and best communication. By keeping people informed, we allow them to contribute their views, ideas and concerns. We develop a culture in which that people are not afraid to speak up and where bad news is seen as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Innovation

Creative and innovative thinking regularly provides our business with an edge over our competitors. Whether it’s new initiatives for creating sustainable social infrastructure, advances in safe work practices or productivity initiatives, we are constantly adapting to the demands of modern society. Our business does not reply on following the lead of others but rather it seeks to create the new “ways”. We recognise a great idea can come from anyone. Many of our initiatives come from our staff or our relationships with government, suppliers, clients and stakeholders.

Learning Agility

We understood that our business to be sustainable we need to be flexible in our approach and develop an agile workforce. We need to constantly seek new learning and be adaptable within ourselves and our business to ensure we all continue to grow. For many of our staff, their greatest learning experience is, and will be, what they experience at work. We are tenacious, resilient and recognise that learning involves risk taking. We support our people to learn from mistakes, to be curious and to embrace change. We create opportunities and we set deliberate development goals to enable continuous learning.

Outperformance

Our determination to consistently exceed expectations in everything we do is reflected in the way we challenge and motivate our people and hold ourselves to account. We are driven by the end result and we are passionate about what we do. We set ambitious targets and create a culture of support and empowerment so that our people can achieve them. Our ‘can do’ attitude and entrepreneurial spirit is backed by disciplined decision making and ability to deliver. We build spaces that achieve increased wellbeing and productivity for those who use them. We strive to outperform the industry, our competitors and ourselves. We continue to raise the bar.

Collaboration

“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” this is true if we work together to create the whole. We collaborate to create our future business, whether that be with our staff, clients, suppliers and stakeholders, the aim of the collaboration is to create an outcome that is far superior than could be achieved through acting as individuals. We include others, we create teams and we provide leadership for those team that delivers the results and that the client is an essential member of the team. We work hard together and enjoy ourselves along the way.
