By improving our focus on goals and human resources, we believe that we can enable each person?s special talents to play a more prominent role in their success on the job.

We believe that investing in human resources is the only way to make our service more productive and more creative and to become the top choice in the minds of our customers and employees.

Because of our commitment to providing service at international standards and our confidence in our human resources, we believe that we can achieve better and newer results as a team, and we are making solid progress in this direction.

We view ourselves as more of a family than a corporation, and we know that we will continue to make progress with each opinion that is shared and with each opportunity that is generated as a result of clear communication and a transparent management style.

The secret to our success is striding forward hand in hand as a team and the love and respect that we show to our employees.

We encourage individuals to take responsibility, to show initiative and to take pride in their work and the results of their work. Second of all, we help our employees become more successful in achieving their professional goals, not only by helping the individual improve, but also by encouraging teamwork.

Ownership: Employees at all levels must take ownership of their work and uphold company values. As a result, no matter what their job description, employees must be people who are excited about the work they do, who are cooperative and who foster an environment where they can achieve their goals.

Focusing on company goals: We make mutual benefits a priority over personal benefits, we adapt personal goals to common goals, we take pride in company values, we comply with rules that are implemented, we respect the rights of others, and we take responsibility for our own behavior.

Being responsible: Company employees are individuals who use their own resources, who are dependable, who make their own decisions, who act independently, who consider the implications of their actions, who do not infringe on the rights of others, and who are able to take care of their own needs.

Honesty: Our employees apply the principles of integrity, truthfulness, telling things as they are, not hiding the truth and not trying to appear or make things appear different from the way they are or the way you know them or believe them to be.

Tolerance: We believe that employees in a modern and civilized work environment absolutely must allow other employees to make their own judgments, they must patiently tolerate views that do not conform to the majority or to their own way of thinking without taking sides, and they must be virtuous.

Respect: We treat our co-workers carefully, sensitively, thoughtfully, without prejudice and with consideration for their rights, values, beliefs and all other characteristics.

Self-motivation: The desire to do something is a conscious step taken to initiate the action that was chosen. We encourage innovation, we take risks and we believe in success in order to achieve it. For us, problems are not obstacles, they are our teachers. We never compromise on our goals.

Problem solving: Coming together to solve a problem is the beginning, staying together is progress, but working together is the key to success. The steps to arriving at a solution are:

Continuous Development: Our management philosophy consists of a management style that does not just focus on the result but also places a priority on people. Individual work styles and efforts to improve should be supported and encouraged. Our company?s Quality Control system supports development and our Suggestion System emphasizes boosting employee morale and encouraging constructive contributions.

Cooperation and Teamwork: Teamwork is one of the most important factors in business management when it comes to achieving performance and job satisfaction. Success depends on our employees having complementary characteristics and on each person exercising all of the skills that are required by their tasks as they work together. Our company encourages sharing the workload, solidarity, support, faith, passion and enthusiasm. Team members share an awareness of ownership, belonging and a sense that we are in this together. They have a desire to work and are highly motivated, enthusiastic, excited and eager. A sacrificial, dedicated attitude toward work is widespread. Our employees know and love their jobs and do them well. They constantly improve themselves and are open to change and advancement.

Strong Personal Relationships: We establish positive communication with our co-workers and we work together to achieve our goals. We are not an island and do not reach the top by ourselves. A fundamental way to have successful relationships is to empower other people. We empower every person we meet and they empower us. We encourage one another and help one another improve.

With the awareness that team synergy and investing in people is a fundamental requirement for success, ATÜ runs a dynamic, success-oriented Human Resources program based on these goals and in coordination with other departments. ATÜ operates with an emphasis on customer satisfaction and selects employees with procedures that have been established according to the company?s goals for quality.

Our corporate culture encourages a culture of ideas and values, which in turn facilitates creativity and interdependence. Our Human Resources department works to promote this corporate culture with the right tools and human resources solutions. As a result, we work together to achieve success by providing opportunities for all of our employees and by encouraging them to realize their potential.

Our company forms teams of top-notch employees in order to achieve its strategic goals in today?s increasingly difficult and changing global economy, with the intention of maintaining and even improving our position as a leader in our business sector.

Our employees are experts in their field, believe in team spirit, have high motivation for the company and their job, they aim for success and they desire to make a positive contribution. Our staff is made up of dynamic, creative people who are open to innovation and improvement.
