A company’s values set the tone for how their employees are expected to act. They say a lot about the culture of an organization.
· Values
· Are important.
· They explain who we are
· And what is important to us.
· The same is true for companies.
Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. They (should) determine your priorities, and, deep down, they're probably the measures you use to tell if your life is turning out the way you want it to. Same for a company. That’s why so many companies take the time to consider and list them alongside their mission statements. Every applicant should inquire about them when considering employment and employees should know what they are. I suspect your company has them – are they general known? More importantly, are then generally woven into the fabric of the culture in which you work. Most companies have them, but too often they’re overshadowed by the work itself. Make it a point to know what your company’s values are, but more importantly make it your purpose to actively use them in everything you do. Include them in your job descriptions, explain how they influence your decisions, reference them in feedback you give, and recognize them when catching employees doing things right. Be a person of value today.
