Value Your Values I The Heartbeat of Workplace Success
The Inside Job - Workplace Wellness Agency
Creating Holistic Experiences that Transform Workplaces from the Inside Out
Let's dive into something truly transformative today: Workplace Values. You know, those guiding principles that shape the very fabric of our professional lives. Think of them as the North Star guiding your ship through the ever-changing seas of work.
Now, imagine your workplace as a vibrant ecosystem, where each person brings their own unique flair and talents to the table. Knowing your values is like having rich, fertile soil beneath your feet – it provides stability and nourishment, allowing your team to flourish and thrive.
But here's the real kicker: understanding and embracing your values isn't just a touchy-feely concept; it's backed by solid research and endorsed by thought leaders in the field of psychology and organizational development. Leaders like Simon Sinek and Brené Brown have long championed the importance of values-driven workplaces, citing them as the cornerstone of high-performing teams and cultures of trust.
Simon Sinek mentions "Values are verbs, not nouns. In order to build the culture we envision, we have to enact our values in how we show up every single day." Check his short video out here highlighting the importance of aligning behaviour and actions with values.
Brene Brown states "We walk our talk—we are clear about what we believe and hold important, and we take care that our intentions, words, thoughts, and behaviors align with those beliefs." You can check out her list of values here.
When everyone in your workplace knows and lives by their values, magic happens. Communication becomes clearer, decision-making becomes more effective, and collaboration flows effortlessly. It's like watching a symphony orchestra – each instrument playing its part in perfect harmony.
But beyond the warm fuzzies, there are some serious benefits to embracing workplace values. Research shows that organizations with strong values outperform their competitors, attract and retain top talent, and foster a sense of belonging and purpose among employees. Plus, employees who feel aligned with their organization's values report higher levels of job satisfaction and engagement.
In Steven Bartlett's book "The 33 Laws of Business and Life Success," Law 12: Define Your Values highlights how your values shape your decisions and actions. Bartlett stresses the significance of defining and adhering to your core values:
