Our Vision and Values
Our vision is to ensure customers achieve their mission objectives through our synchronized solutions.
Our values were born from Native Hawaiian culture and are prevalent in everything we do. In Hawaiian society, guests and strangers alike are welcomed with the spirit of aloha. Everyone has a responsibility to use his or her talents to the benefit of the entire `Ohana or family. We believe that `Ohana embraces not just our immediate family but also our companies, our customers, our communities, and ultimately—the reason why we do what we do.
What makes us different from other organizations is not only our NHO status—but what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. Our organization’s values are based on the following five principles: Ho`omau, Po`okela, Kuleana, Laulima, and Kūpono.
These five principles guide our relationships in our workplace and communities. They are the cornerstones of the FOCs and are critical to forming productive, long-term customer relationships; attracting and retaining talent; and contributing to the communities in which we operate. It is this aloha spirit—as much as our technical excellence—that is the foundation of our continued success and ultimately our charity’s success.
Kūpono demonstrates our uncompromising integrity. We strive to be fair and just in all of our relationships, both internally and externally. We always seek the just and decent path in dealings and decisions.
Kuleana is the act of viewing responsibility as a privilege and honor. No matter the level of action needed, we accept responsibility as a duty—not in pursuit of reward, but because it is the right thing to do.
Po`okela captures our goal to strive for excellence. We target solutions and services of the highest caliber and set our sights to the highest level of achievement.
Ho`omau is one’s individual progress, despite any hurdles. Our personnel apply perseverance and endurance to achieve progress.
Laulima, the spirit of cooperation, drives everyone in the Family of Companies to work together towards a common goal. Aside from internal project goals and our customers’ missions, our goal is furthering our awareness of our charity.
Our Leadership
Our leadership is committed to the fundamentals that have made us a success: superior customer service, open communication, ethics, innovation, and technical excellence. With a strong and well-established management team driving this vision, every employee is considered a leader. We encourage our diverse team of personnel to look for new and better solutions to customer challenges.
