Assessing your Values
Team and company values help recruit mission-aligned talent, support the development of cultural norms, and keep your team connected and motivated.
Sometimes values and mission statements can exist more on paper than a company's lived experience.
Here are a few suggestions for assessing your company values.
When asked, what do employees say are the company values?
How well do the employee answers match the stated company values?
Are your company values aspirational (what you hope you can be) or a statement of the current values?
The answers to the questions above can serve as the foundation for a conversation about aligning the company values with what is both desired and possible.
