The Character Community encourages businesses to:

  • Identify what the business stands for
  • Establish ethical business practices
  • Emphasize customer-service
  • Foster strong Character employees
  • Develop business leaders of Character
  • Give back to their community

 

FOX GROUP President and Senior Partner, Roberta J. Fox participated in the founding Business Council for the York Region in 2003 with former Mayor Don Cousens and other political and business leaders who believe in character attributes. 

 

What is a Character Business?

A Character Business is one in which members of the community work together to nurture positive character attributes.

 

It requires a shift in thinking and a focus on attitudes and behaviours that lead to achievement and success, not just of the business, its clients, but the community at large.

 

All employees and management should be honest, polite, and take pride in their achievements.

 

The Character Community also has a significant role and value in the business community, encouraging companies to:

 

  • Identify what the business stands for
  • Establish ethical business practices
  • Emphasize customer service
  • Foster employees of strong character
  • Develop positive character in business leaders
  • Give back to their community 

 

Character Attributes

The Character Community Foundation of York Region is based on the 11 Character Attributes chosen by its residents and citizens:

 

Compassion | Courage | Fairness | Honesty | Inclusiveness | Initiative | Integrity | Optimism | Perseverance | Respect | Responsibility



 

Character is important

 

Good character makes a difference in our families, schools, businesses and neighbourhoods by strengthening our relationships, building stronger communities, and engaging all of us in positive change and citizen engagement.  A Character Community attracts people and businesses of character and acts as a driver for economic growth and prosperity.

 

"We all believe in the Character  Community attributes and work to practice their beliefs in our daily business and personal lives at FOX GROUP", stated Roberta J. Fox, founding member of York Region Business Character Council. 

As supporters of the Canadian Technology Consultants Association (CTCA) through our promotional support and occasional event involvement, all FOX GROUP professionals and staff agree and abide by their Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as stated on the CTCA web page.
