Our Culture

Culture at Parklane is the cornerstone of our success. Alignment with our core values is therefore the single most important aspect of any Team Member's performance. In implementation, this means living by the following:

• Challenge, Accepted – at Parklane, we are dedicated to solving complex problems. We embrace a mindset overcoming – what can seem to be – insurmountable challenges. Our team is consistently encouraged to approach difficulties with determination, creativity, and a positive attitude. We are willing to take on new and unfamiliar tasks, push beyond our comfort zones, and continuously seek growth and improvement. This is critical for fostering a culture of resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to finding innovative solutions.
• Share the Wins, Own the Losses – team-based collaboration and personal accountability are the pillars of our culture that has been cultivated since the inception of the business. It means celebrating successes together as a collective effort and recognizing the contributions of all team members. It also means taking responsibility for mistakes, learning from them, and collectively finding ways to improve.
• Built on Client Relationships – Parklane is a referral-based business, thus building and maintaining customer relationships drives every critical decision we make. Prioritizing client satisfaction, understanding their needs, and delivering exceptional customer service demonstrates our commitment to building trust, reliability, and loyalty with clients, which ultimately contributes to Parklane's success and reputation.
• Work Hard, Play Hard – As a solutions-based business, challenges are very rarely straight forward. Therefore, it is our team's commitment to perseverance and hard work that continues to make us successful. Putting the effort in to the role is an expectation of the team as much as it is the expectation of the organization.

We also feel that celebrating achievements are just as important as accomplishing them…so having some fun is a must (LET'S GOOO)
