A fundamental concept at SignOnline is to nurture a culture of ideas, challenges, feedback, and prudent risk-taking without the fear of occasional failure. To grow, we find it essential to provide each associate on-the-job development, supplemented with suitable training as necessary. Cross training provides employees the benefit of additional perspectives and skills. As employees progress they aid in the development of others thus furthering a team effort for which the company strives. Creating an environment where top performers can progress rapidly, based on skills and ability, is a key goal of SignOnline. The company looks to fill most new career opportunities by internal promotion, while also strengthening the staff with external hires as needed. "Hands-on" management is the standard. An important role for each manager is to spend time talking with and visiting clients, prospects and other associates so as to gain first-hand insights and develop a lasting business relationship. SignOnline encourages lateral and vertical communications, both inside and outside of formal reporting relationships, and supports an environment where constructive differences of opinion are encouraged and welcomed. Discrimination, libel, slander or harassment is not tolerated. SignOnline is committed to equal opportunity regardless of age, race, sex, sexual orientation, color, creed, religion, national origin, marital or veteran's status, handicap or disability. The company's goal is to create and maintain an environment where employees can contribute creative ideas, seek challenges, assume leadership and continue to focus on meeting and exceeding both business and personal objectives.
