Effectiveness Areas:

Effectiveness areas are critical aspects of how you approach your job daily and will be used to evaluate your job performance:

·         Team – as a leader you are responsible for the safety, effectiveness and job satisfaction of those you lead.  This requires the creation of a team atmosphere where each team member feels valued, heard and empowered.  The team should be unified in the completion of team goals – the team includes yourself, those you lead and those that you report to.  Servant leadership is considered an effective way to supervise others.

·         Responsibility – as a team member you will be responsible for outcomes. Outcomes include the ethical operation, profitability, efficiency and good will of KMR and dōTERRA. The outcomes that you will advance will be defined with your participation, be specific and clear, and will be used as part of your work evaluation.  Outcomes should not be achieved at the expense of dōTERRA’s Purpose, Mission or Values as included in dōTERRA’s Employee Handbook (“dōTERRA’s Guiding Principles”) but can and should be achieved through the implementation of dōTERRA’s Guiding Principles. You will embrace accountability, accept correction, seek opportunities for improvement and avoid assigning blame.

·         Growth –you will seek to increase personal knowledge regarding your work (including accepting new and additional work opportunities), develop and follow a Career Development Plan, grow KMR’s business and influence in the community and help other team members flourish.

You will help your team members to be aligned with dōTERRA’s Guiding Principles. Self-dealing, compromising dōTERRA business opportunities for personal gain or negatively impacting dōTERRA’s reputation will be cause for separation. 

·         Organization – you will always maintain a clean and orderly working environment, which includes cleaning and putting away tools and equipment, keeping distillery and other buildings clean and operational. The tidiness of the work environment improves safety, reflects a commitment to dōTERRA’s Guiding Principles and demonstrates your intention to present KMR and dōTERRA in the most favorable way to others.  An organized environment leads to greater work efficiency and improved work outcomes.

·         Communication – clear and timely communication will be expected each workday; where our goal is a level of communication (more is generally better) that ensures our operations are executed to the highest standards, co-workers can plan effectively, and safety is never compromised. All communication should always be respectful and reflect dōTERRA’s Guiding Principles.
