The Hurst Way

Having a passionate approach to work life, serving to the highest standard and contributing to the sustainability of Hurst.

The Hurst Way is the filter through which we look to make decisions that reflect our mission.

Based on the Hedgehog theory from the book Good to Great by Jim Collins, we answered three questions that represent the Hurst Way:

PUBLIC SERVICE

We passionately serve the community while demonstrating level five leadership qualities within our circle of influence. We are empowered to develop an exceptional quality of life for our community through professional and ethical public service.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

We do our very best to serve our customers selflessly, no matter what title we hold or whom we're serving. We are committed to providing exceptional customer service while being responsive to the needs of the community.

FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

We responsibly manage our resources allowing the city to provide a desirable level of programs and services to the public now and in the future.


CITY OF HURST CODE OF IDEALS

The employees of the City of Hurst have worked together to identify guiding principles that focus attention on exemplary customer satisfaction. We hold these principles as universal and essential to our success, which we establish as our Code of Ideals.
The Code of Ideals will serve as the philosophical cornerstone to guide our interactions with anyone who lives, works, shops, or plays in our City, or relies on the services we provide. It is the heart of those characteristics that we all agree comprise the best in an organization and ourselves.

Professionalism

We will strive to demonstrate competency, knowledge, and efficiency in our jobs that exceeds the expectations of our customers.

Positive Attitude

Work Environment

We are committed to safety as the foundation of a clean, secure work environment that is conducive to an enjoyable work experience. We will continually work to improve ourselves and the delivery of our services through training, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
We hold the Code of Ideals as the key that unlocks our potential for exemplary customer service, for satisfaction in a job well done, and for pride in ourselves and our organization. Our leaders have empowered us to deliver quality service, and we will work together to achieve this goal.
