			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><strong>Our exceptional staff is tirelessly committed to helping families find their way to<br />
a better life.</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Our Values:</strong><br />
* Respect<br />
* Interdependency<br />
* Shared and Personal Accountability<br />
* Quality Services<br />
* Open and Transparent Communication<br />
* Innovative Opportunities for Growth and Learning<br />
* Financial Health</p>
<p align="left">While mission and values statements are common currency in many companies these days,<br />
the real innovation at Emerge! was in finding a way to utilize these values as a<br />
screening mechanism in the hiring process. The process uses a structured<br />
methodology designed to ensure that the organization&#8217;s shared values are<br />
understood and embraced by newly-hired employees.</p>
<p align="left">Special thanks to the Arizona Daily Star and the Society of Human Resource Management for this special honor.<br />
