Our first organisational value is to be passionate professionals and I was thinking about what makes a passionate professional and how, as a business owner, I might attract more to come and join us as we grow.
It seems to me that passion can lead to professionalism, but professionalism is unlikely to lead to passion. This is why we hire people with a passion for the environment, not professionals recruiters. To date, this tactic has served us well and clients enjoy working with people who share their outlook. Teaching professionalism is difficult with some, but it can be taught. Passion, I believe, is something that cannot be taught – which is why we’ll only ever hire passionate people.
