Value and Culture

What's the United States Mint's greatest asset? Our people. The United States Mint is made up of a dynamic group of innovative and talented individuals, without whom we couldn't have achieved such a high degree of excellence. We value our people enormously and make an effort to reward them for their service. To that end, the Mint offers a broad range of benefits and supports our employees to realize their potential. This includes an atmosphere that fosters our new era values by which we work and by which we do business - to be the best in business.

Accountability:
As public servants, we must be accountable to the American people, our customers, and stakeholders, while holding each other and ourselves accountable for our actions and the outcomes of our work.

Leadership:
We will steer a course for the future, cultivate partnerships, direct institutional change, and stand ready to make difficult, discerning decisions that affect our work and our country. We will develop our managers through training and experience to make them strong leaders. We will develop a capacity to make choices that lift the organization, rather than merely distribute the spoils. We will model the Mint's values.

Trust/Respect/Integrity:
We will be honest and responsible in all of our dealings. We will trust and value one another as professionals. We will treat each other civilly at all times. We will honor the highest standards of professionalism, character, and dependability. We will remember that our people and reputation are our most precious assets.

Teamwork:
We will create an environment that fosters communication, involvement, respect, and cooperation and prizes group achievement. We will equip our people with the tools and training necessary to excel. We will join together to find the best way to address any and all issues in the best interests of the American people, our stakeholders and our employees.

Communication:
We will listen to others, accept constructive criticism, share ideas, ensure complete, consistent and timely communication, and respond to others constructively and with civility.

Civility:
We will treat one another with dignity, care and respect. We will speak and act toward one another in a manner that is professional as well as friendly. We will abide by the credo that we will treat others the way we want to be treated. We will respect the cultures, customs and values of all United States Mint personnel as well as those in the communities where we work and live.

People:
We will work in an inclusive environment that embraces change, new ideas, respect for all individuals and equal opportunities to succeed.

Excellence:
We will seek continuous improvement in the work we deliver. We will streamline and improve our processes; attain continuous feedback from our employees, our customers, our stakeholders, and the American People; and we will measure ourselves against world-class organizations.

Environment, Health and Safety:
We will work in a manner that promotes the health and well being of the individual and the environment. We will promote sound environment, health and safety management. We will operate safely and seek to prevent injuries. We will invest in the skills and career development of our employees, provide them appropriate tools and equipment, and recognize their family and personal responsibilities.
