GCP's management philosophy is simple and based upon responsibility coupled with mutual respect. Therefore GCP operates on a horizontal hierarchy chain rather than vertical one. Although there are defined roles, workers often have to perform duties outside their given specialty which forces everyone to work as a team. Individuals who work at GCP want to work there because GCP has created an environment that encourages creativity and achievement not self promotion and individuality.
In addition GCP's work team possesses a breadth of functional experience in sourcing, engineering, strategic planning, importing & exporting, product development, and professional services. The organizational structure reflects GCP's intentions to maintain an organization that is customer oriented and technologically proficient, while efficiently managing cost controls and productivity.
