A Company’s Core Values are its Foundation
A company’s core values are instrumental in conveying what that company believes in and what they stand for. Beyond being part of a written mission plan, a company must embed these core values and beliefs in everything they do, from hiring and retaining employees to how they work with customers and build long-term relationships.
Independent of Profits
Core values are something that should be practiced with every interaction, regardless of the impact to the bottom line. Strong values provide a guidepost of purpose and direction so that there is never a question of how something should be handled. These values always point the business and its employees in the right direction. Inc. Magazine shared nine ways leadership teams can integrate core values into the day-to-day workings of their business.
Pathway to Leadership
- Lead and live by example – consider core values to be a bedrock foundation of all business matters
- Teach through action – training and continued application make values an everyday occurrence
- Reinforce with frequency – find ways to strengthen touchpoints through frequent communication and feedback
- Recognize and reward – solidify the benefits of embodying the values through bonuses and peer acknowledgement
- Incorporate values – look for ways to integrate core values into how you do business, including the proposal process
- Hire with intention – identify and hire employees who culturally align with the core values
- Evaluate and review – inspect and reward employees who demonstrate value through their work
- Eliminate non-compliance – retrain or remove employees who do not embody the core values through behavior and work
- Align messaging – ensure internal and external messaging is in sync to effectively communicate these values
