Frequently Asked Questions: SPX Values
Why is SPX adopting these values?
The new statement of our SPX values will help us create a world-class culture that drives our performance and growth. The statement clearly articulates the importance of SPX culture and values within the context of our business strategy and vision. We expect the SPX values to play a key role in building the SPX brand from the inside out.
Why are the leadership standards being replaced?
The original leadership standards were developed in 1996 and no longer fully capture our culture and values as a company. Elements of the leadership standards are included in the SPX values, including an ongoing commitment to ethics, integrity, innovation, diversity and communication. The SPX values incorporate these ideas and also introduce new concepts that best characterize us today and reflect what we aspire to become. We’d like employees to replace postings of the leadership standards with our new statement of SPX values.
How were the SPX values selected?
Business leaders and employees from across the company participated in developing and refining the statement of SPX values. The chief executive council conducted the final review and fully endorses them.
How will the SPX values be used?
We have announced the new statement of SPX values through this special edition of Face2Face and encourage all employees to review them. It’s important that managers make the SPX values a regular part of their discussions with employees in group and individual meetings. The SPX values are also being used to shape new performance competencies for the company.
Can the SPX values be shared outside the company?
Yes. They can be communicated with external audiences and they will be posted on our website. Our most powerful communications will be how we live the SPX values. Please continue to be ambassadors for the SPX brand. To realize the tremendous promise we have as a company, we need everyone’s support to make our brand and values part of the way we think and act.
