Our
Guiding Principles
The
guiding principles listed below are the core values that shape our
corporate culture.
- Honesty,
clarity, timeliness and mutual respect in all of our
communications.
Xandex
practices an "open door" management style that
encourages the flow of communication through all levels of the
organization. Company meetings are held quarterly so that every
employee is well informed of our annual and quarterly goals and
progress. Both formal and informal means are available to all
employees in the organization for providing input on improving our
processes and practices.
- Innovation
and creativity to provide new and improved products, practices
and services.
Xandex
has built its reputation on developing and offering new and
creative test solutions. By investigating and investing in the
latest developments in electronics, materials science, business practices and
computer/software technology, Xandex continues to be a leader in
the development of next generation test solutions.
- A
commitment to quality in everything we do.
In
1997, Xandex was among the very few small companies who earned
certification in ISO 9001 quality standards. In 2003, Xandex was
re-certified in the revised ISO 9001:2000 standard. At our
company, Quality is not just the function of the Quality
Department. It is ingrained in every aspect of our organization
and is the responsibility of each and every employee.

- Teamwork
among ourselves as well as with our customers and business
partners.
A
spirit of cooperation exists at Xandex. It is evident not only in
our internal activities, but also in how we interact with our
customers and suppliers. Internally, cross-functional teams are
the core of our manufacturing, product development and process
improvement activities. Externally, we partner with our customers
and suppliers in finding unique and cost effective designs and
test solutions.
- Continuous
development of our organization and its people in a healthy
and enjoyable environment.
In
the competitive and volatile climate of the high tech
semiconductor industry, agility and accuracy (getting it right the
first time) are necessities. Our managers are routinely challenged
to raise the bar for themselves as well as for their staff. We
believe that continuous improvement of individuals in our team
benefits the entire organization. We often provide opportunities
for advancement and promotions from within, as well as encourage
personal and professional development by offering financial and
educational assistance to all employees.
Our
commitment to providing a safe and healthy work environment is
demonstrated by our progressive
ergonomics
program, which has been recognized in safety magazines. We
have CPR and First Aid trained Safety Teams who drive our safety
practices, which include quarterly site inspections, emergency
practice drills, and ergonomics workstation evaluations. Our work
environment and safety practices far exceed OSHA standards.
- Recognizing
and rewarding the people and organizations that contribute to
our success.
Since
the time when Xandex was a small company, we have tried to provide
competitive benefits and compensation for our employees. Our
salary structure is founded on comparisons with High Technology
Surveys, which represent much larger companies (in revenue and
employee level).
Our
benefits, like fully vested 401K, are considered quite
generous for the size of our company. We have shared our profits,
our savings from process and safety (workers' compensation cost)
improvements, and have always matched or offered better annual
merit adjustments than national averages. Being a private,
family-run business, we give extra care and consideration in
looking out for the financial well being of our employees.

- Fairness
and ethical conduct in all of our interactions.
We
believe that integrity is key in building relationships. Our
management practices and policies consistently promote fair and
ethical conduct. Xandex has always been highly diverse and
passionate about its
zero tolerance policy
towards ANY form of harassment. Our policy and value system
applies not only to our employees, but also extends to our
customer and supplier interactions.
- Caring
for the well being of our environment and the community in
which we live.
Xandex
supports many non-profit and charitable organizations in our
local
community. We encourage participation in volunteer programs
such as mentoring in our local schools, or adopt-a-school to
promote math and science studies. Our ongoing donations to Sonoma
State University, Petaluma Fire Fighters, The Salvation Army,
Petaluma People Services, Women's Justice Center and many others
are highly appreciated.
