Contemporaries
Our core values set the foundation for our decision-making process and establish the guiding star for who we are.
In 1991, Fred and Betsy Donohue put their experience in the professional staffing industry together to create a company that put people first, whether that be customers, employees, or partners.
Since then, Contemporaries has created our five core values to help build and support the growth and flourishing of our people and putting them first. These core values are:
Family First
Fun
Forthright
Agile
Tenacious
Contemporaries was founded as a family-owned business and it remains a family owned business with Fred and Betsy’s daughter Erin Allen at the helm as our President. But to us, family means more than just the people you are biologically related to. Friends are family, our customers are family, our employees are family, and our partners are family. We make all of our decisions with this core value at the center. It is our guiding star for how we treat the people we encounter.
At Contemporaries, we believe that creating a Fun environment for our team members is vital. This means establishing a workplace where trust, productivity, and creativity can thrive. Our team members are the most valuable part of our company and we want everyone to feel like they have a place where they can prosper and grow in both their professional and personal lives. A Fun workplace is a happier workplace and that translates into the work that we do.
We believe in a workplace that values honesty, clear communication, and a safe place for team members to share their thoughts and ideas. We use the ideas and feedback from team members to provide customers with creative and innovative solutions that can solve their problems. Being Forthright also contributes to creating a space where team members feel comfortable sharing those ideas which can lead to a more productive workplace.
With this productivity comes our ability to be agile. The ability to pivot, adjust, and make improvements quickly is an asset to both us and our customers. Sometimes challenges can come from variables we can’t control and being able to adapt to those changing circumstances is crucial for achieving success.
To be a member of the Contemporaries team, you must also be tenacious. We love the work we do, and we bring excitement to the solutions we provide for our customers. Problem-solving isn’t easy. It takes dedication, hard work, and a tenacious attitude to get you through roadblocks, even if they seem insurmountable.
Our mission is to provide our clients with exceptional customer service by supporting their needs so that they can remain focused on the growth and success of their organizations. Our core values set the foundation for our decision-making process and establish the guiding star for who we are.
