Defining Our Core Values At GRS

Shelby Forsyth • May 4, 2021

Now, you may be wondering, what is a core value? Simply put, core values set the tone for a business to shape the culture and behavior of its staff. These values establish the foundation of beliefs set by its founders to guide employees to make the right decisions daily. If employees are guided by the same beliefs, then it is easier to attain the same goals. Whether it is a Fortune 500 company or a small “Mom and Pop Shop,” core values are chiefly important! 


DEFINING CORE VALUES AT GRS

As you can see on our social media pages and beyond, we talk about our core values a lot. This is no accident! Our core values mean everything to our company and have been refined since our company’s inception in 1974. Guarantee Restoration Services prides itself on having the following five core values: 


  • Honesty: Give transparency and accountability in everything we do.
  • Workmanship: Provide continuous training for employees, which ensure quality of work performed.
  • Efficiency: Deliver cost-effective and timely solutions to our customers.
  • Commitment: Promise to follow-through to the end of each project. 
  • Partnership: Work closely with our customers to resolve a multitude of property damage challenges.


SEEING OUR CORE VALUES FIRSTHAND

After being here for more than a year, I have seen these demonstrated by all of our team members, who strive to live them out every day. I am extremely proud to work for a company who keeps their standards so high. These same standards are the reason we have grown so much in the past few years and continue to grow.

Have you ever heard the saying, treat others the way you would want to be treated? It is pretty common, but it speaks volumes. That is why we esteem our core values so much here at GRS. We want to be that first call that gives our partners a peace of mind when they call us! In order to do so, all of our branches have put teams in place that work great as a team and have a heart that beats as one. There is no doubt that each and every one of us strives to be the best we can be on a daily basis!

At Guarantee Restoration Services, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we’re excited to introduce Christy Jones Huff , a Business Development Representative at our Jackson, Mississippi Branch who joined the team just over a year ago in January 2024 . From Property Management to Business Development Christy’s journey to GRS started long before she stepped through our doors. A Jackson State University graduate , she earned her degree in Mass Communications/Public Relations with a minor in Marketing . She then spent 19 years as a property manager , gaining invaluable experience in building relationships and problem-solving, which are skills that now serve her well in business development. It is safe to say that she is well-versed in the multifamily vertical that we serve, but she also works with several other industries, such as state entities and housing authorities.  Life Outside of Work Originally from Farmhaven, MS , Christy stays busy outside of work with a full house. She’s married, a proud mom to a college-aged son, and spends most of her free time keeping up with a very active toddler —a job she jokingly refers to as "taming a toddler." When she finds a rare quiet moment, she enjoys crafting, though she explained that those moments are few and far between these days.
