than enough money and financial assets that they really will never have to work in order to
support themselves or their families. So the question becomes: Why should they work? (or
even prepare for working through education?) A somewhat easy question to answer at a
theoretical or principle-based level, but far more difficult in real life conversations when
your kids ask the question.
First, let me define what I mean by “work”. I am talking about meaningful and
productive life activity. It does not only mean a paying job — most adults do some
forms of work that are not paying (making meals, doing the dishes, lawn care, paying
the bills, laundry) — although many wealthy individuals and families hire these tasks
out to others. I think probably the most undervalued form of non-paying work is
parenting, and more specifically, mothering. Mothers work long, hard hours; they don’t
get paid; and they don’t typically get much in return (accolades, thanks, and
recognition). Mothering is, flat out, a tough job. There are additional non-paying jobs in
the forms of community service and volunteering. So work is not defined by payment in
this context.
The inferred meaning of work from this perspective is: The purpose of work is to make
money. So if you have “enough” money (which is a personal definition), you don’t have
to work. This is where the dilemma intersects with children and heirs of significant
financial wealth — if the primary purpose of work is to make money, and we have all
the money we need, why should I go get a job? And why should I study hard in school
to get a job I don’t need?
The problem is, from my perspective, this is a limited view of work. Work, besides
making money, is meaningful daily life activity — making something, serving
someone, providing something of worth.

Achieve personal mission in harmony
Information Sheet-2
Properly crafted mission statements serve as filters to separate what is important from
what is not, clearly state which markets will be served and how, and communicate a sense
of intended direction to the entire organization. A mission is different from a vision in that
the former is the cause and the latter is the effect; a mission is something to be
accomplished whereas a vision is something to be pursued for that accomplishment. Also
called company mission, corporate mission, or corporate purpose.
The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall
goal, provide a path, and guide decision-making. It provides "the framework or context
within which the company's strategies are formulated." It is like a goal for what the
company wants to do for the world.[2]

description of what an individual wants to focus on, wants to accomplish and wants to
become. It is a way to focus energy, actions, behaviors and decisions towards the things
that are most important to the individual.
The sole purpose of a mission statement is to serve as your company's goal/agenda; it
outlines clearly what the goal of the company is. [4] Some generic examples of mission
statements would be, "To provide the best service possible within the banking sector for
our customers." or "To provide the best experience for all of our customers." The reason
why businesses make use of mission statements is to make it clear what they look to
achieve as an organization, not only to themselves and their employees but to the
customers and other people who are a part of the business, such as shareholders. As a
company evolves, so will their mission statement, this is to make sure that the company
remains on track and to ensure that the mission statement does not lose its touch and
become boring or stale.
A personal mission statement communicates the organization’s reason for being, and how
it aims to serve its key stakeholders. Customers, employees, and investors are the
stakeholders most often emphasized, but other stakeholders like government or
communities (i.e., in the form of social or environmental impact) can also be discussed.
Mission statements are often longer than vision statements. Sometimes mission
statements also include a summation of the firm’s values. Values are the beliefs of an
individual or group, and in this case the organization, in which they are emotionally
invested. The Starbucks mission statement describes six guiding principles that, as you
can see, also communicate the organization’s values:
-Provide a great work environment and treat each other with respect and dignity.
-Embrace diversity as an essential component in the way we do business.
-Apply the highest standards of excellence to the purchasing,.
-Develop enthusiastically satisfied customers all of the time.
-Contribute positively to our communities and our environment.
-Recognize that profitability is essential to our future success

Occupational health and safety is an extensive multidisciplinary field, invariably touching
on issues related to among other things. Some of the principles of occupational health and
safety are listed as follows:-
All workers have rights
- Work should take place in a safe and healthy working environment
- Conditions of work should be consistent with workers well-being and human dignity
- Work should offer real possibilities for personal achievement, self-fulfillment and
services to society
Occupational health and safety policy must be established
There is need for consultation with the social patterns and other stakeholders
Prevention and protection must be the aim of OHS programs and policies
Information is vital for the development and implementation of effective programs
and policies
Health promotion is central element of OH practices
OH services covering all workers should be established
Compensation, rehabilitation and curative services must be made available to
workers who suffer occupational injuries, accidents and work related diseases.
Education and training are vital component of safe, healthy working environment

trust, but they also can be learned directly from the actions of others. For example, what
people see their organizational leaders, managers, and co-workers do on the job can
influence their own views of what is acceptable or unacceptable behaviour.
Ethics is a branch of philosophy that addresses the questions of morality through a set of
behavioural guidelines. A workplace being the source of bread and butter for many, also
satisfies the self-actualization needs. It provides a reason as a standard of living. Hence,
by that virtue, business ethics, which sustain morality and help evolution have to be
followed at a workplace.
Honesty, loyalty, commitment and rights go in building a conducive work culture in a
workplace. Although personal ethics differ, they matter in making of the ethical standards
of the organization. Because of the difference, every employees needs to be put on one
single ethical platform

15
- Being knowledgeable - loyalty to work/company
- Sensitivity to others - compassion/caring attitude
- Balancing between family and work -sense of nationalism
Here are the seven key components of a work ethic.
1. Professionalism
Being professional involves everything from how you dress and present yourself in the
business world to the way you treat others. Professionalism is such a broad category, in
fact, that it basically encompasses all the other elements of a strong work ethic.
2. Respectfulness
You display grace under pressure: No matter how tight the deadline or heated the
tempers, you always remain poised and diplomatic. Whether you’re serving a customer,
meeting with a client or collaborating with colleagues, you do your best to respect
everyone’s opinions, especially under trying circumstances. This shows you value
people’s individual worth as well as their professional contributions
3. Dependability
You can be relied on to keep your promises. You are always on time and prepared for
meetings, and deliver your work on schedule and on budget. Your reputation for reliability
precedes you because you’ve proven over time that customers, clients and colleagues can
trust you to do everything you say you will. In an uncertain world, your customers,
colleagues and clients will appreciate the stability you embody.
4. Dedication
You don’t stop until the job is done, and done right. “Good enough” is not good enough for
you and your team. You aim for "outstanding" in everything you do. You put in the extra
hours to get things right, giving attention to detail and devotion to excellence. Your passion
shows in how hard you work and the results you achieve.
5. Determination
You don’t let obstacles stop you, and enthusiastically embrace challenges like a mountain
climber who ascends higher and higher until the summit is reached. You know that your
job as an entrepreneur is to solve your clients’ problems, and you resolve to continually
16
seek better and more innovative answers. With purpose and resilience, you push ahead,
no matter how far you have to go.
6. Accountability
You take personal responsibility for your actions and outcomes in every situation, and
avoid making excuses when things don’t go as planned. You admit your mistakes and use
them as learning experiences so you won’t make the same ones again. You also expect
your employees to meet the same high standards, and support those who accept
responsibility instead of blaming others.
7. Humility
You acknowledge everyone’s contributions, and freely share credit for accomplishments.
You show gratitude to colleagues who work hard, and appreciation to your loyal clients.
You have integrity in spades, and are open to learning from others, even as you
teach people through your words, actions and example. And, while you always take your
work seriously, you strive always to maintain a sense of humor about yourself.
Work values/ethics/concepts
A work value
A value is a principal or standard that is held in high esteem by an individual and is related
to all aspects of one's personal and work life. You may have values around family, work,
spiritual, leisure, personal, etc. In this exercise you will focus on your work values. As you
rank each value, think about how important the value is to you in a work setting. As you
consider your work related values, keep in mind that there are no right or wrong work
values; rather it is a process of identifying what matters most to you rather than someone
else.
Often include such traditional virtues as trust, loyalty and commitment, honesty and
respect for one another, and avoiding conflicts of interest. Values may also include newer
elements such as innovation, teamwork, customer focus and continuous improvement.

Sense of urgency: - Drive people companies & countries to work much harder than
normal and the common traits of highly productive people, companies and countries. As
you can see, a tough of it can transform a person, company or a country to be highly
productive.
1. Set a challenging goal with a dead line.
2. Set a minimum time to work on something.
3. Make yourself accountable.
4. See yourself to be in the losing side.
5. Be aware of potential danger.
Love for work:- If you work from home you probably spend more time on the phone and
less time doing work find out how to keep the balance between work.
18
exciting. Keeping up with current changes in the field is vital for success and increased job
security
Orderliness:- It is associated with other qualities such as cleanliness, diligence the desire
for order and symmetry. Having a sense of where things belong and how they relate to
each other and keeping them organized (I want to arrange myself and my surroundings to
achieve the greatest efficiency, the quality or state of being orderly, also systematic
functioning perhaps the most fundamental form of organization is taking to higher.
Reliability and Dependability:-You can be relied on to keep your promises. You are
always on time and prepared for meetings, and deliver your work on schedule and on
budget. Your reputation for reliability precedes you because you’ve proven over time that
customers, clients and colleagues can trust you to do everything you say you will. In an
uncertain world, your customers, colleagues and clients will appreciate the stability you
embody.
Goal Oriented: - The concept of goal orientation was developed to describe variability in
dispositional or situational goal.
19
environmental protection. This is demonstrated by values that are near each other or on
opposite sides of the diagram shown below:-
20
Being knowledgeable:- When you think of someone who is knowledgeable, you might
picture a professor who wears cardigans and glasses. While professors are generally
considered knowledgeable, there are many people who fit the description. Being
knowledgeable means you have or show knowledge. People who are knowledgeable use
facts, information or skills on a regular basis.
How to Be Knowledgeable:
21
1. Learn on a daily basis. Every fact or skill you learn adds to your knowledge. You can
learn tips on how to cook from someone making dinner, or you can master a computer
game that you play in your spare time. Make a point to learn something new as often as
possible and then apply what you learned as soon as possible.
2. Pick an area of study. Most knowledgeable people work to gain knowledge in a
specific area like English, history or computers. Find something that interests you and
then research the topic. If possible, take classes or attend seminars. Another way you
gain knowledge is by finding a mentor who can teach you.
3. Share your knowledge. You can be the smartest person in the world, but if no one
knows you have knowledge, it won't matter. You have to show your knowledge by
teaching others, writing papers, hosting seminars or participating in events like
Knowledge Bowls.
4. Look for different experiences. This may mean you have to get outside your comfort
zone. Each experience can teach you something and provide you with information that
connects to things you've already learned. A new experience can help you look at an
old experience in a new way and lead to a new discovery.
5. Ask questions. Make sure that you fully understand what you are learning. When
you ask questions, listen to the answer. Allow yourself time to assimilate the new
information. Continue to ask questions until you fully grasp the concept.
6. Use different sources. You can become knowledgeable by learning from people,
reading books or surfing the web. Experimenting can lead to new insight as can
observation.
Loyalty to work/company:- Employers value employees they can trust and who exhibit
their loyalty to the company. Loyalty in the workforce has taken on a new meaning. Gone
are the days when employees plan on starting out and retiring with the same company. It
is said that most people will hold between 8 – 12 jobs throughout their career. What does
this mean in terms of loyalty in today’s workforce?
22
Companies offering employee growth and opportunity will ultimately gain a sense of loyalty
from their employees. Employees today want to feel a sense of satisfaction in their jobs
and will do a good job when they feel that the employer is fair and wants to see them
succeed. Although this may mean only staying for five or ten years in a position,
employees can offer loyalty and make an important contribution during their time with the
company.
More companies today encourage employee feedback and offer employees an opportunity
to lead in their area of expertise. This gives employees a greater sense of satisfaction and
a sense of control over their job. Empowerment encourages employees to do their best
work since companies are displaying a trust and expectation that they believe in their
employees to do a good job.
Offering jobs that encourage learning and the development of new skills also gives
employees a sense of empowerment in the workplace. Aligning an employee’s values with
the goals of the organization will foster loyalty and a bond between employer and
employee. Fostering good relationships within an organization and offering constructive
ways to handle conflict provides a win – win situation for both employer and employee.
Creating an organization that values loyalty within the organization can also work to its
benefit by using the same techniques and strategies to establish loyalty with customers;
and loyalty from customers ultimately makes for a successful business.
Compassion/Caring attitude or Sensitivity to others: There are always going to be
people in your life that irritate, annoy, and baffle you as to why they do and say the things
they do. Sometimes you want to snap back at them about how pestering they are, or
ignore them because you don't particularly like them, but remember, you have to be
considerate of how that person feels and why they do and say certain things. Before you
can judge, you need to understand that person's feelings and thoughts.
To develop Caring attitude or Sensitivity to others:
1. Before you judge them, step into their shoes. This is especially important. Maybe
this person is constantly sitting by his/her self and doesn't like to talk to others. Maybe this
person is cold to you when you talk to them or says things that might seem a little rude.
Before you judge them and label them, think about how he/she feels—"Maybe s/he is
23
always by him/her self because s/he doesn't feel comfortable around others. Maybe s/he
isn't used to talking to people so s/he is a little cold. Maybe s/he wasn't feeling well on the
day I talked to him/her and that's why s/he seemed to be in a bad mood." Before you allow
yourself to label this person, imagine why they act or say the things they do.
2. Think about how you'd feel if you were treated the way you may treat this other
person. It is necessary to think about this before you say something to another person.
How would you feel if someone you weren't familiar with came up to you and said
something mean to you, just because you looked/sounded/acted differently from what they
expected or thought you should have? You would be pretty hurt, wouldn't you? Don't put
someone through that kind of pain if you wouldn't want to be put through it yourself.
3. Don't let one encounter ruin your perception of that person. Just because someone
seemed to be in a bad mood when you talked to them doesn't mean they are constantly
angry and depressed. Maybe they were having a bad day when you talked to them, or
they weren't feeling well. Try to speak to them more often and see how they act; don't let
one time ruin how you see that person. You have to be around them frequently to see how
they really are.
4. When you talk to them, don't let your insecurities or beliefs get in the way. It's very
common to meet people with different beliefs, likes and dislikes than you, so don't be put-
off if the person you're talking to doesn't like something you do, or likes something you do
not. Don't let their belief in God (or no God) make you feel any different about them.
Remember, being sensitive to their feelings means accepting what they like/dislike and
who/what they believe in. It's how they feel for a reason, and you should respect that
Balancing between family and work:- Work–life balance is a broad concept including
proper prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition) on the one hand and "life"
(Health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development) on the other.
A balance between work and family responsibilities occurs when a person’s need to meet
family commitments is accepted and respected in the workplace. Helping people achieve a
balance between their family needs and their work commitments supports productive
24
workers as well as committed family people. All people in the workplace, whether they are
employers or employees, will need to balance their work with their family responsibilities at
some time in their working lives. While some might have responsibilities for children,
others might also care for ageing parents, partners or other family members who require
ongoing or temporary assistance.
Family-work balance is a complex issue that involves financial values, gender roles,
career paths, time management and many other factors. Hidden values and models from
our cultures, original families and other sources influence our choices in ways that we
often don’t anticipate or understand and that have far reaching consequences for our lives.

Gather All Pertinent Information Concerning the Ethical Problem
The third step is to interview each participant to gather relevant information regarding the
ethical violation. Obtaining all the related information is only possible when everyone
cooperates. Getting each member to cooperate with the investigation can be a daunting
task because violators may not want to admit the truth and their friends may not want to
blow the whistle. Still, the incident cannot be resolved properly without all the pertinent
data.
Analyze All the Information Fairly According to the Company's Ethical Standards
Once the pertinent information has been listed out, the fourth step is to analyze the data.
This is to be carried out in a manner that is consistent with the company's ethics program.
Make a Decision that is Consistent with the Organization's Ethics Policies
The fifth step is to make a decision that goes along with the preset ethic standards and
policies. Many organizations go through the motions to write out rules and regulations
based on supposed core values, but that few follow through with them.
Implement the Decision to Solve the Ethical Problem
Discuss the Lessons Learned in Order to Improve the Ethics Program
The seventh and final step in solving an ethical problem is to discuss the lessons
learned from the ordeal. The most profitable result of a policy violation is to use it to
improve the ethics program and make the organization stronger.

Information sheet- 4 Use Company resources
Company resources
Company Resources are all assets a company controls and can use to achieve its goals.
Company resources include the following:
Human Resources
Material Resources
Financial Resources
Intangible Assets
From this point of view, we can define a company as a unique collection of resources. This
collection is not easy to replicate, and the differences between the quantity, share and
quality of resources of different companies have an impact on the performance of
them.
Equipment/Machineries
Material resources are tangible goods different from human resources that the company
can use to achieve its goals. Examples of material resources: - Real estate, Machinery,
Computers and office equipment, Supplies and intermediate products, Tools
Technological advancements can make some material assets obsolete. Usually,
computers become obsolete after some years. The same can happen with some
business machinery: when a new better technology is implemented, it may be better to
replace old machines than to keep using them.
Human Resources
If you work at a medium or large company, probably you’ve already heard of the term
“Human Resources”. Companies usually have a department that recruits employees and
deals with issues related to people, like paying salaries, on boarding, training, etc. In this
article, we are not talking about the human resources department, but to the people who
Work for a company, and to their skills, knowledge, culture and expertise. Human
resources play a key role in every company because they have a great impact on its
38
performance and the achievement or not of its goals. Human resources define company
culture and company culture cannot be replicated. People not only acquire knowledge and
skills by education but they also by experience and informal training. Human resources of
a company have several important features:
- Skills
- Experience
- Qualification
- Geographic Location
- Time Availability
About the Term Human Resources A major concern about considering people as a
resource is that people should not be treated like another commodity or asset, that can be
easily interchanged. Economics should have people at the core of its goals. People should
not be treated like another company resource or as a simple factor of production, but with
respect and dignity.
Consumable materials
Consumable resources (or non-renewable) are not renewed on an activity basis but
consumed when used. Typical examples are money, raw materials and energy. Usually,
the overall project costs are limited and pre-defined in a total contract price. When I started
looking for Consumable Resources / Materials I could not see the potential applications
other than some way to manage inventory of materials. Unless you have issues with
storage capacity then you might not feel the need to model your inventories within the
CPM model. But the potential need for consumable/material resource functionality is there
for other scenarios that cannot be modeled without consumable resources functionality.
Recently I was confronted with the issue of modeling form-work sets and found that the
use of materials functionality is a perfect fit for cases when you have a need to keep
reserved the form-work from the first moment an activity from the group starts until the
finish of all activities from that group. This is a different scenario to when form-work can be
moved from activity to activity without the need to keep it reserved for a group of activities
before it can be used by other activities or groups. It also came to my mind it could be a
39
perfect fit to control the start of an activity upon the start/finish of a certain number of
activities within a group. The use of regular resources along with resource production can
Be an alternative.
Time resources:-
A lot of people believe money is their most important resource but we think they’re
misguided. Their most important resource is time. You can get more money through
various avenues but once time is gone, it’s gone forever. You can’t buy more or borrow
more, so time is a limited resource that expires every day. As a business owner, you have
to be very careful with this precious resource.
Other people are more than willing to take your time. You’ve undoubtedly experienced
getting stuck on a phone call or having someone drop by your office without an
appointment. Some people think that because you’re a business owner and have more
control over your time, you have more availability. They don’t realize they’re wasting
precious minutes or can’t understand why you’re unable to get together with them at
inconvenient times (family and friends can be the worst culprits). To better guard your
time, consider these time thieves and how you can control them:
1. Email: - We’re all bombarded with email and it’s one of the worst offenders. It’s easy to
develop a habit of constantly checking your email, especially when one of those little
windows appears on your monitor telling you a new one has arrived. Who can stand the
suspense? But this can be a huge time waster. Consider setting aside certain times each
day to read and answer email, and learn to resist the temptation to even glace at your
Inbox outside those times.
2. Meetings at inconvenient times:- Scheduling a meeting at 2:00 instead of 1:00 can
blow your entire afternoon if it chops up your day. Figure out a scheduling process that will
work for most days and try to stick to it. For example, we schedule 2-hour client meetings
at 8:00, 10:00, 1:00 and 3:00 so we can work four clients into a day. Scheduling someone
at 9:00 or 2:00 limits the number of clients we can see.
40
3. Not creating or sticking to agendas:- Meetings can get totally out of hand if people
are allowed to go off on rabbit trails. Not following an agenda and controlling how the
meeting progresses will waste your time.
4. Not having a gatekeeper:- Whenever possible, even the smallest business needs
someone to screen calls. This can be accomplished through in-house staff or an
answering service. Your gatekeeper serves as a shield between you and solicitors, or calls
that might not fit into your schedule and would be a disruption.
5. Doing too many of the little things:- An unwillingness to delegate work to others can
rob you of time you could spend more profitably elsewhere. It can also steal your personal
time by forcing you to work later to get everything done.
6. Not scheduling time for routine tasks:- It’s easy to get busy and put off doing some of
the routine tasks in the business, like paying bills or quarterly taxes until they become
time-critical. Then you’re forced to give them your immediate attention, whether or not it’s
convenient. Your day is disrupted and your time stolen. You can either master your time or
be a slave to it. You can allow other people to steal your time or you can be in control.
Time is your most valuable resource and must be guarded carefully or you won’t have
enough of it. .
Financial Resources of a Company
Financial resources of a company are the set of liquid assets available to the company .
Financial Resources:- Cash, Short-term bank deposits, Liquid financial investments, like
stocks and bonds, Checks.
Good financial resources management is important to achieve the goals of the company.
Situations where the shortage of funds can compromise the short-term operations must be
avoided. For example, if the company doesn’t have enough funds to pay salaries or buy
raw materials. On the other side, an excess of financial resources can lead to a high
opportunity cost.
For most companies, the main source of financial resources is the main business of the
company. Usually, selling goods or services.
When a company is expanding or at the investment phase, common sources of financial
resources usually are:-
- Capital contributions
41
- Loans
- External investments
Intangible Resources
Intangible resources, also called intangible assets, cannot be touched or seen. Intangible
resources are not financial resources and cannot be associated with human resources.
Examples of intangible assets:
Intellectual property:- Patents, Trademark, Copyrights.
Other intellectual assets:- Public image of the company brand, Customer lists, Private
databases.
In-house developed processes and software , It is hard to measure the value of intangible
resources. A big difference between intangible and material resources, besides the fact
that intangible resources cannot be touched or seen, is that the value of intangible
resources usually do to change when they are being used. For example, the value of a
brand can increase over time.
Another difference is that many intangible resources cannot be transferred to other
companies. Some internal processes do have value only for the company
that created them. Importance of Organizational Resources At some companies, material
resources play a more important role than in others. For example, at an agri-business
operation, real estate and machinery play an important role. At a consultancy firm, human
resources play a more important role. Some companies rely heavily on intangible assets.
For example, Coca-Cola formula has been a key asset to the company.

Each person is different, with their own personal behavior, values and beliefs shaped by a
number of factors that include culture, religion, nature, and personal experiences.
Values relate to our personal principles, morals, and ideals that is, what we consider to
be important.
Attitudes relate to a person’s views, which may be evidenced in the way they behave.
Beliefs relate to those things in which an individual has faith ‘religious beliefs for
example which may not necessarily be founded on fact.
Dignity’ is a difficult concept to define and has a strong association with respect.
‘Privacy’ has been defined as ‘freedom from intrusion’ and ‘dignity’ as ‘being worthy of
respect’ (DH, 2003). Within this module, four types of dignity were identified as follows.
Merit—this relates to dignity or social status that is ascribed to people because of their
role or position in society, or because of what they have achieved.
Moral status—this is emphasized by the person’s moral autonomy or integrity. If an
older person is able to live according to their own moral principles, then that person will
experience a sense of dignity.
Personal identity—this was found to be the most relevant in the context of older people:
‘It relates to self-respect, and reflects an individual’s identity as a person.
This can be violated by physical interference as well as by emotional or psychological
insults such as humiliation’.
By understanding these above mentioned differences among the co-workers and clients
we can minimize the differences by creating tolerance.

What Are Company Values?
Company values, also known as corporate values or core values, are the fundamental
beliefs upon which your business and its behavior are based. They are the guiding
principles that your business uses to manage its internal affairs as well as its relationship
with customers. Once set, your core values need to be firm and unwavering — a mandate
rather than a suggestion. They should affect every aspect your business, from employee
benefit packages and workplace culture to marketing strategies and customers service.
Keep in mind that company values should be more than stated values; they must be
practiced values. If your company doesn’t follow through on the values it claims to hold,
you can’t expect your hypocrisy to go unnoticed — or unanswered — by consumers.
Employees, likewise, will notice if your company isn’t living up to its values statement,
which can damage morale.
Why Are Company Values Important?
Numbering 83.1 million, millennia’s surpassed baby boomers in the 2014 census and
represent one-quarter of the U.S. population. Simply put, this generation is too large to
ignore. If corporate values matter to millennia’s — and they do — then they should matter
to you, too. As employees and customers, millennial’s favor companies whose values
align with their own personal values. That makes corporate values an important part of
both driving sales and attracting top talent.
When it comes to recruiting employees, you can even put a dollar amount on how much
company values are worth. According to a study by Fidelity , millennia’s would be willing to
take, on average, a $7,600 pay cut for a healthier work-life balance, a better company
culture, career development, or a more meaningful job — factors that would improve their
overall quality of life. A strong set of company values also gives your company direction
and helps it build a reputation. They set the tone for how your business interacts with
Customers, markets its products, and makes important decisions. If you take them
seriously, your core values will help you form a solid brand identity and a cohesive
business plan.
How Do You Define Company Values?
66
You can incorporate your corporate values in your mission statement or write a separate
statement of core values. Either way, the process should start with a brainstorming
session. Invite a handful of people who understand and embody the traits you want your
Company to be known for. These could include the founder, CEO, and other company
officers, but don’t forget to include some key employees too, such as your top salesman,
your most respected managers, or your best designer. Ask each participant to list what
They think the company’s values are or should be. You can jumpstart and guide the
process with questions like:
What core values will resonate with our customers?
What principles should guide our choices?
What do we want our company to be known for?
How will our values distinguish us from competitors?
What qualities do we value in employees?
Values Employees should strive to Emulate Values are purposeful. Your values shouldn’t
be a list of generic ideals. They should be specific to your company, and they should align
with your company’s goals. For instance, while a commitment to justice might make little
sense for a tech company, a commitment to privacy would serve an important purpose.
Values are choices. Rather than seeing your values as beliefs, treat them like choices.
After all, most companies will say they believe that customer service is important. What
differentiate your company from others will be the choices you make in the name of
Customer service. That could mean committing to a 24-hour response time for email
inquiries and investing in the staff and tools to make that possible. Values will cost you.
Like any choice, values come with an inherent cost. Make sure you are ready to uphold
Your company’s core values even when it would be easier or less expensive to ignore
them. If your company claims a commitment to sustainability, you should use eco-friendly
materials even if that decision cuts into your profits. Values that cost you nothing aren’t
Worth having. Values require action. Beliefs without action are just empty words. For
instance, if you say your company values innovation, you can’t stifle employees with a
67
“This is how it’s always been done” mentality. Instead, you should be actively encouraging
and considering new ideas. Values are timeless. Although your company’s practices and
strategies may change over time, your core values should be constant. Choose values you
can stand by regardless of economic conditions, external incentives, competitive
advantage, or corporate trends. Keep in mind that company values aren’t merely an
internal matter, limited to an obligatory section in the employee handbook that hardly
anyone reads or remembers. Rather, companies are expected to share their values
publicly. Let consumers know what you stand for and how you run your company. Make
sure your employees are familiar with your company values. Set values employees can
put into practice, and give them the tools and incentives to do so. The Crew app can help
you communicate your values to employees, offer guidance and reminders, and
Recognize team members who are following through.
