Our Values
Our exceptional service outcomes differentiate us, but it’s our culture and values that really sets us apart. We are proudly different – in what we do, how we do it and most importantly… why we do it.
Care
Do the right thing
We care about creating brighter outcomes for everyone. The safety and happiness of our clients and their customers, our subcontractors and their workers and our colleagues, really matters to us. We pride ourselves on doing things right, every time.
One Team
Stronger together, than apart
First and foremost, we’re a people business that’s formidable, especially when we pull together our collective expertise, know-how and effort. Together we achieve what others can’t.
Simplicity
Make the complex simple and the simple simpler
We strip down the simple, to the essential. By starting with customers and their needs, we then work backwards – challenging the norm and disrupting the accepted – to deliver exceptional outcomes.
Imagination
Challenge the status quo
Our thinking isn’t restricted by what exists today. By asking ‘what if?’ we’re always imagining and searching for new ideas and ways to make the impossible possible, the invisible visible, and the complex simple.
Exceptional
Best just isn’t good enough
We never settle for just being best, we aim higher. For us, excellence is everything, and every day we’re driven to exceed expectations by delivering exceptional outcomes that transform. That’s what sets us apart.
Our Community
We believe that our social purpose is to promote and support small business as the driving force of a competitive, productive and fair nation.
Our values and beliefs drive us to balance our rapid growth with sustainability, as well as being of service and contributing to our community.
By partnering with thousands of small and medium businesses, our focus lies on the health and wellbeing of those we work with and the communities in which we operate.
Our three pillars
Our History
Tandem makes bold ideas happen, quickly.
