MORNINGSIDE'S VALUES

The following principles and values guide our work and set our priorities:

FOR OUR PARTICIPANTS

We support the rights of people with disabilities to participate fully in community employment settings.

People with disabilities achieve fulfillment through learning, contributing, and relationship building.

People with disabilities have the right to direct their own vocational decisions through choice, participation and control.

We believe respect acknowledges equity.

True personal and vocational growth demands the courage to accept risks.

Morningside partners with its employees and participants to provide and maintain a safe work environment.

Our commitment to participants is guaranteed through the organization's financial security.

FOR OUR STAFF

Morningside employees are treated with respect for the special skills and knowledge each brings to the workplace.

To the greatest extent possible, employees are empowered to make decisions affecting their work.

On-going staff recognition plays an essential role in promoting excellence and innovation in our workplace.

Morningside employees maintain professionalism in their interactions within and outside the organization.

A diverse work force brings significant benefits to Morningside's participants, employees, and the community.

Supporting employees in their educational and professional growth is integral to Morningside's overall success.

The importance of the work employees do is evidenced by appropriate compensation equity across the organization.

FOR OUR COMMUNITY

The combined talents and unique contributions of all individuals add richness and resources to the community.

Partnering with businesses, corporations, government, and other local organizations 
strengthens the community and expands the roles that can be filled by people with disabilities.

Increased acceptance and the celebration of diversity significantly enhance the quality of community life.

We support ongoing education and awareness programs to encourage, reinforce, and increase inclusion and employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

The achievement of the highest possible level of self-sufficiency of all citizens increases the economic strength and stability of the community.

Maintaining a progressive leadership role in the community increases inclusion and employment of people with disabilities.
