Parvalux runs with four values at its core. For us defining these values and using them to lead our behaviour is an important aspect of building a strong culture, maintaining our positive brand identity and reputation as well as guiding our actions.
These four values are:
Precision – At the heart of our ethos lies precision which for us is a commitment to meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising quality standards. Every geared motor that rolls off the production line undergoes rigorous testing and scrutiny to ensure flawless performance. This dedication to precision not only upholds our reputation for excellence but also underscores our respect for craftsmanship and reliability. We pride ourselves in being innovators in the industry and a Parvalux product is a beacon of quality, speed, and flexibility.
To improve precision within the workplace we are investing in the training and development of our employees, we offer apprenticeships, maxon academy training, H&S training, and external upskilling. These are available to everyone in the company to ensure that all staff are comfortable with their level of training.
Curiosity – Without curiosity, we wouldn’t be able to improve our products or create new ones. We have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and innovation, and we foster a culture where employees are encouraged to question, explore, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. This spirit of curiosity drives breakthroughs in design, technology, and process optimisation, empowering Parvalux to stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving industry.
To reward employees for using their skills and ingenuity, we have a pay banding system, this allows employees to maximise their earning potential by building their internal skills portfolio.
Collaboration – The team at Parvalux believe in working together at all times recognising we are all cogs in the wider company, and all have an equal role to play. We encourage cross-functional teams to work in synergy, exchanging ideas, expertise, and perspectives to tackle challenges and seize opportunities. By fostering this culture of collaboration, we are able to harness the collective intelligence of our workforce, driving creativity and fostering a sense of belonging among our employees.
Ellee Williams, HR Manager said: “Collaboration forms the cornerstone of our success fostering a culture where diverse perspectives come together to tackle challenges and achieve common goals.”
Customer Focus – We love our customers, and their success is a sign of our success and therefore all of our products are customer-led, ensuring every customer has a positive experience. Every decision and every action is guided by a deep understanding of our customer needs and aspirations, and we go above and beyond to deliver solutions that exceed their expectation, creating lasting value. This unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction has earned Parvalux the trust and loyalty of clients worldwide, cementing its position as a preferred partner in the realm of geared motor solutions.
These four values as the foundation of our business align well with our deep-rooted principles of inclusion, self-awareness, and dialogue as well as trust, results, people development and sustainability, recognising that these are key in ensuring a motivational and inclusive workplace.
For Parvalux inclusion is not just about diversity metrics but about creating an environment where every voice is heard, valued, and respected. Parvalux embraces diversity in all its forms, fostering a culture of belonging where individuals can thrive and contribute their unique perspectives which ties in with our value of collaboration.
Self-awareness is a trait that Parvalux cultivates among our employees, encouraging introspection and personal growth. We make conscious efforts to reflect on our own behaviour and actively ask for feedback leading to a better understanding of ourselves. By fostering self-awareness, Parvalux empowers individuals to recognise their strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development in line with the value of curiosity and encouraging a passion for learning.
Dialogue serves as the cornerstone of our communication and collaboration philosophy, promoting open, honest, and constructive conversations at all levels of the organisation. We listen actively and ask coaching questions in order to empower others and through dialogue, we hope to create an environment of trust, transparency, and mutual understanding, enabling teams to collaborate more effectively and navigate challenges with resilience and grace. This leads naturally to staff development where we enable our staff to contribute to the team, as well as offering coaching and mentoring to develop their skills.
As a business, we are working on sustainability and minimising our impact on the climate, waste, and water at every stage in our process. We are working on solutions to provide sustainable progress and improve safety, security, and quality of life. From sustainability to research and development, Parvalux is driven by results, and we regularly analyse our processes in order to optimise productivity.
As part of our drive for sustainability and reviewing our processes we recently introduced the 6S Lean Management System into our processes. This is a six-step process which was devised by Toyota Production Systems and helped to streamline their production with less waste whilst at the same time improving performance and quality.
Parvalux’s journey towards manufacturing excellence is not just about producing world-class geared motor solutions but also about embodying a set of values and principles that define our identity and guide our actions.
Ellee adds: “At Parvalux, our values serve as the backbone of our operations, guiding us through every endeavour we undertake. Together these values not only shape our identity but also empower us to consistently deliver exceptional results and cultivate enduring relationships with stakeholders.”
Through precision, curiosity, collaboration, and customer focus, intertwined with principles of trust, inclusion, self-awareness, sustainability, and dialogue, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, inspiring innovation, and leaving a lasting impact on the world of manufacturing.
