Values should live in the present
Narrowing values down and defining them helps employees focus and guide each behaviour more concisely.
- Our values define your company beliefs and bring people together, building a community.
- Company values are not just words, but a guide on how people operate and what’s expected of them.
- The core values of an organization impact both internal and external affairs.
- They define not only how employees treat each other, but also the behavior expected toward clients, partners, and the broader community.
- Values are only helpful when they’re expressed in everyday behavior.
