Business Criteria And Reaction?

OK, here is one for you...I kept this in Politics because this seems to be where the debate would go in most circles..

I am investigating some new work...and one company I have come across and I like their thoughts.

(1) There are requirements (of course!) for the jobs...but there are also EXPECTATIONS of skills they want you to gain WHILE EMPLOYED!

(2) They recognize how work impacts life and while requirements are not decreased, they have brought some of those tasks / requirements in house so they can be accomplished easier.

(3) They expect honesty and integrity at all levels--and define it as a core concept in their work

(4) When hiring for software positions, they do not require certifications...but it is EXPECTED for the applicant to work towards it during employment.

(5) Entry-level positions are assigned a mentor with the goal of increasing the person's skill level from day one. Upward mobility does not seem to be viewed as an opportunity or concept but a requirement.

Yes, there would be skepticism from many, but considering this company has doubled in size and is bringing more people in this year, this business model and thought process is working well for them! It also has a nice balance between a conservative mentality and a liberal one.

With all the banter back and forth between the ideologies, especially in this forum, how many of you actually look to the other side to see what of their views can be accomplished better with aspects of your own? How can wages be increased without damaging small businesses by doing this on a national level? How can we have a safety net for those in need without removing the incentive to improve themselves? How can we have a solid education system without wasting money? How can we maintain a military for legitimate defense purposes without spending too much? How do we stem the illegal immigration flow without eliminating the ability for people to come to America for something better? How do we lower the costs of health insurance--AND ACTUAL CARE!--without violating the freedoms of our citizens?

Seeing a business find success in the balance, what concepts of your opposing ideology would you embrace, using aspects of your own to enhance it?
