Here's how you can effectively convey your company's values and mission to employees.

Values are reflection of Organisation’s need to make meaningful Business purpose and create its significant impact. There are different ways at workplace to inculcate values into behaviour by communicating regularly, visualising, incorporating into employees life cycle, making part of key performance indicators, linking with recognition system, training, implementing policies and guidelines etc. Importantly, demonstrating our own values in our day to day activities may lead Organisation to achieve its own purpose.

Company values are the principal beliefs of any company. In our company we have utmost importance of our 5 core values. It's an integral part of the employee welcome kit. We also conduct an explicit orientation session where each employee is provided deep understanding of these values. It's highly important for employees to be in complete alignment with the company's values which is directly proportional to the company's objectives. For us they are not words but we completely and truly stand by them.

Effectively conveying your company’s values and mission to employees involves clear, consistent communication and integration into daily practices. Start by articulating the values and mission in a compelling and accessible way, using various channels such as onboarding materials, company meetings, and internal communications. Lead by example, demonstrating these values in your own actions and decision-making. Incorporate the values and mission into performance reviews, goal-setting, and recognition programs to reinforce their importance. Regularly share stories and examples of how employees are embodying the values and contributing to the mission.

To effectively communicate your company’s values and mission, ensure leadership consistently models these principles. Regularly reinforce the values through team meetings, informal conversations, and continuous training. Incorporate the values into onboarding and performance reviews to emphasize their significance in everyday tasks. Acknowledge and celebrate employees who embody these values, and foster open channels for feedback. Sharing real-life examples of how the values are applied can also make them a tangible and relatable part of the company culture.

A business is as a business does and, often, one of the best ways to learn company values is subconsciously. Whilst an induction process where the company values are explained is still important, if there is then a shift between what has been conveyed in the induction and what actually happens in day-to-day practice, guess which one is going to leave a greater impression on a new starter or a long server. For example, if you zero-tolerance towards bullying and then the employee witnesses bullying or is bullied and that goes unchecked, that will leave a far stronger impression about you and your values than any policy. Picking up on those instances or ignoring them says a lot for your values and how important they truly are to you.

When leaders consistently embody the company's values and mission, they model the behavior expected of all employees. This alignment not only fosters a cohesive work environment but also enhances employee engagement and adherence to these values. Leaders should demonstrate company values through their daily discussions, meeting and decisions. Sharing illustrations on how they've applied these principles can inspire and guide other employees. By living the company's values and openly communicating their importance, leaders help integrate them into the org`s DNA, making them an inclusive part of the company's culture. This top-to-bottom approach ensures that values are not just theoretical ideals but habits that shapes the organization.

Company values and mission aren’t just things to put on a poster or mention during onboarding. They’re really about how leaders show those values in their actions every day. When leaders live by the company’s values, it sets a good example for everyone else and helps make those values part of everyday work.

Liderar pelo exemplo é o que mantem uma equipe unida e motivada. Uma lideran?a que entende o poder que tem e usa para desenvolver a equipe ao invés de liderar pelo medo entendeu definitivamente o que é ser um líder. Liderar n?o é tarefa fácil, mas com as ferramentas certas e muito autoconhecimento e inteligência emocional acaba tornando-se prazerosa. O líder é um espelho para sua equipe e deve refletir o melhor que tem em si mesmo.

Sometimes we damage our processes with exceptions, it is easy to be dragged by the day-to-day operation and develop habits that can contradict the company values, if one of the values is 'kindness in communication', but in a rush a leader is rude, it changed the value to 'be kind if you are not in a rush'. To avoid exceptions, it is important to train our leaders to make them our value champions and keep a continue feedback process with them as they must become a guide for everyone.

Fostering open dialogue about your company's values and mission is essential. Encourage managers to regularly discuss these topics in team meetings and one-on-one conversations. This helps employees grasp the 'why' behind their work and understand how their individual roles contribute to the broader mission. Additionally, create platforms where employees can ask questions and provide feedback on how the company's values resonate with them. This continuous exchange not only deepens understanding but also strengthens alignment between personal and organizational goals.

It’s important that company values can be translated and are meaningful, relevant and authentic. For example if one value allows employees to ‘come as you are’ but in reality there’s an unspoken (yet well known) list of characteristics the company doesn’t want it automatically becomes inauthentic. Similarly if a company value is transparency but they don’t share salary’s on job adverts, company performance or don’t have an open door policy - again it invalidates the authenticity and becomes an outdated tick list the C-suite made with marketing many years ago.

Recognizing employees efforts is very crucial. This gives room for growth and appreciation for consistently upholding the company’s core values and principles and pushes employees to do better.

He encontrado muy útil organizar sesiones exclusivas para reconocer los valores que se viven dentro de la organización. Una dinámica que me ha funcionado es llevar lonas o cartulinas donde los empleados pueden colocar stickers para indicar qué valores perciben con mayor frecuencia en su día a día y cuáles reconocen en los demás. Al final de la sesión, obtenemos una representación visual de los valores más y menos presentes. Esto abre la puerta a una reflexión en equipo, seguida de compromisos concretos para reforzar aquellos valores que no se ven tanto en la práctica cotidiana. Esta actividad no solo crea conciencia, sino que también fomenta la participación activa y el sentido de pertenencia dentro del equipo.

Recognition programs are a powerful way to reinforce your company’s values. By regularly celebrating employees who embody these values, you make them a visible part of your company culture. For instance, if innovation is a key value, reward and highlight team members who bring new ideas to life. This not only motivates others but also helps embed the values into daily work, showing everyone what success looks like in practice.

é Muito importante que as empresas, consigam buscar dos funcionários se realmente a miss?o e valores da empresa está em conformidade com o dia a dia do funcionário, e se de fato essa vis?o é transparente. Ou seja é momento da empresa avan?ar em suas fortalezas deixando-as transparentes e condizente com o que é "pregado".

O conhecimento é a base de todo profissional que almeje a excelência. O aprendizado é contínuo, seja para atualiza??es ou inova??es, devemos nos manter em constante estudo. Oferecer aprendizado para os colaboradores é um ganho excelente para as empresas, que ter?o profissionais sempre capacitados e atualizados. A implementa??o de um setor de treinamento para que esse aprendizado seja contínuo é de extrema importancia nas organiza??es.

Líderes que aprendem continuamente incentivam o desenvolvimento de seus times. Iniciativas como: compartilhamento de artigos e podcasts que podem ajudar o time em seus desafios, promover um clube do livro sobre um tema em comum na opera??o, fomentar a troca de conhecimento entre as áreas s?o práticas que fortalecem o desenvolvimento do time.

Organiza??es s?o organismos vivos. E assim é também a sua cultura, que muda de tempos em tempos. é importante que pelo menos anualmente uma revis?o cultural seja feita, corrigindo rotas. Uma boa forma de entregar um plano de a??o: - O que devemos come?ar a fazer - O que devemos parar de fazer - O que devemos fazer mais Assim como investigar o “lado luz” e “lado sombra” da organiza??o em rela??o à cultura desejada. Ou seja, o que está e n?o está alinhado com a estratégia cultural da companhia.

Engaging employees in discussions about company values and evolving those values based on feedback keeps them relevant and impactful. By actively involving your team in shaping and adapting values, you make them feel invested and ensure they reflect current needs. For instance, hold regular feedback sessions to discuss how well the values are resonating and make adjustments based on input. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and ensures values remain a dynamic part of the workplace culture.

Values are beliefs, to reinforce them you need to see the value in action, imagine a company whose values include "work from anywhere", but because of how they operate people are required to come into the office most of the time, probably you won't be able to change the operation, but you are able to change the value for "attendance matters". Remember that values should be particular to that company and avoid copying pasting values just because they look good.
