Values and Culture
At S@WS, our culture is shaped by our team’s military heritage – professionalism, integrity and looking after our people. We are guided by clear core values that inform every decision we make, keeping us accountable and driving continuous improvement. They underpin the way we work, ensuring we deliver practical, ethical health and safety support while genuinely caring for our clients and their people.
1. Integrity First
We do the right thing, even when it’s difficult. Our advice is honest, evidence-based and driven by what keeps people safe – not by what’s easiest or most convenient.
2. Safety with Purpose
Safety isn’t a box-ticking exercise; it’s about protecting lives. Every action we take and every recommendation we make has a clear purpose: reducing risk and improving well-being.
3. Collaboration and Camaraderie
Just as in the military, we’re stronger together. We work as one team with our clients, encouraging open communication, mutual respect and a shared pursuit of safer workplaces.
4. Adaptability and Innovation
We stay calm under pressure and adapt quickly. Drawing on our experience and new thinking, we continually look for better, smarter ways to manage risk and improve safety.
5. Service Beyond Profit
We’re a business, but our motivation is service. We measure success by the positive impact we have on people, organisations and communities, not just by the bottom line.
6. Respect and Diversity
Respect is non-negotiable. We value different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, knowing they lead to stronger decisions and more effective solutions.
7. Reliability in Every Action
If we say we’ll do it, we do it. Clients can rely on us for accurate guidance, timely support and consistent follow-through when it matters most.
8. Continuous Excellence
Excellence is a journey, not a destination. We commit to continuous learning and improvement so our skills, processes and services always meet high standards.
9. Legacy of Service
Our roots lie in service to our country. We bring that same sense of duty, responsibility and care into the health and safety work we do every day.
10. Empowerment through Education
We believe knowledge is power. Through training and education, we equip individuals and organisations to take ownership of their safety and contribute to a safer world.
