Core values are the building blocks, the structural foundation from which an organization thrives. These foundational pillars guide employee behaviors and decision-making for the greater good of everyone.

We believe in the strength and power of our people. If you're seeking a workplace where values are embodied every day, you're in the right place.

Since our inception over 40 years ago, our commitment to positively impacting our clients, colleagues, and communities has been unwavering. To maintain that commitment and drive innovation, our 1-3-5 core value philosophy is at the heart of it all.

What is CAI’s 1-3-5 core value philosophy?

Built to inspire collaboration and unity, our 1-3-5 core value philosophy is encapsulated in a framework that symbolizes and demonstrates the interconnectedness of each value.

1 principle guides our actions

Collaborate: No matter what we accomplish, we always do it together. When we combine our individual strengths with those of our clients, colleagues, and communities, we continue to power the possible.

3 actions frame our mindset

Act honorably: We always strive to do the right thing, both personally and professionally. No matter how big or small the task is, we act ethically and honestly.

Respect everyone: We value diversity and treat everyone with respect. We welcome and encourage people to be themselves and bring their entire self to work. In our experience, taking inclusive action creates the best contributions.

Take ownership: We believe in the power of an entrepreneurial mindset and strive to empower people to make the right decisions. It is easy to take ownership when you continuously keep your word and deliver results.

5 attributes form our foundation

When we hire talent, we look for defining traits of a quality character. It’s these traits that drive the three actions and ultimately our one principle: Dedicated • Intentional • Curious • Innovative • Proactive

What does it mean to our employees?

Our employees’ voices say it all. These values shape their experiences and empower them to bring their full selves to work.

I strive to act honorably, respect everyone, and take ownership especially when collaborating with my coworkers and our clients. I am empowered to grow and do my best when I stay curious, proactive, and dedicated."
