Faith & Values

Answer:

It provides the moral framework for everything we do. For example:
It compels us to offer our best in services and products.
It makes stewardship the metric for how we treat others and accountable to God for what he has entrusted to our use and care.
It demands that we be competitive in the marketplace for the benefit of our customers, employees, and the larger community.
It demands that our wages and benefits reflect an equitable compensation for each employee, not just the least they will tolerate, and that we freely recognize their contributions.
It compels us to resolve disputes with just consideration for the perspective of others.
It drives us to make a fair profit and a return on investment, and then to share it with our employees, those in need, ministries, and those who work in the culture to defend and advance our values.

Certainly not. I (and Audio Authority) respect each individual’s rights of conscience and expression. By making my faith known, I do not compel others to conform or agree. I simply give witness to what God has done for me. Our company welcomes every opportunity to develop mutually respectful business relationships with people of goodwill from all faiths, or no faith.

Answer:

I hope not, but yes it is possible. While I view the Word of God as good news, its transcendent truth establishes the basis for objective right and wrong. It leaves little room for individual rationalization or relativism. So the Cross & Bible can be convicting and even offensive to some. The right of others to disagree, object, or even take offense is in balance with and just as important as my right of expression. My witness of God’s faithful grace, mercy, and guidance in my life is also more important than any potential loss of approval, favor, or even commerce from others.

I really don’t know, but I assume not. Audio Authority is an Equal Opportunity Employer and has a diverse workforce. We look for talented, self-motivated, competent people who enjoy their work and want to help us accomplish our business objectives. Their individual worldview and faith are not questioned and are not a basis for hiring decisions, advancement, or discipline. However, our employees know from our handbook that the Holy Scriptures and Judeo-Christian values are our basis for our business ethics. They know from the outset that we have high character expectations of our associates and ethical behavior. We look for the best-qualified and capable applicants that will have the most positive impact on others.
