ASSIGNMENT: DEVELOPING CORE VALUES IN ORGANIZATIONS
ASSIGNMENT: DEVELOPING CORE VALUES IN ORGANIZATIONS
- Core values is a summary of creativity innovative hardworking integrity among many,
- Core values need to be put in good language so as to bring them out clearly
- Core values should paint good picture
When we talk of core values some words pop up in our minds automatically. Words like integrity, creativity, hardworking among many others. This words if not put down in good language they are just meaningless to the employees, actually some won’t even know the core values. Core values should paint a good picture to your employees as to why they get up early in the morning to come and work for you (Hirsch, 2009).. This is by including your mission and vision in the core values hence pointing all the employees to one direction and by this a team will have been created. Developing a strong set of core values is a primary key to create a good culture in the company
- core values should be started with verbs
- Core values are actions hence the need to start them of with verbs
- It adds meaning to them when started with a verb
In developing core values one needs to start them with a verb. Core values are how employees should act while in the organization and acting means doing something hence the need to start them off with a verb since it will help to add meaning to the core values. A good example is when u want the employees to be respectful don’t just say “respect” write it as “show respect to one another” that would be much better (Douglas, 2010).
- Staff involvement
- Coming up with a list of core values and giving the public to review it
- Getting the feed back
- Let every employee be involved
Staff involvement when developing core values will come in handy. Come up with a list of the core values you as the owner have in mind then give it to your staff asking them if that is what makes the organization special. Wait for the feedback and if they don’t agree with it then it needs to be revised (Douglas, 2010). . Something about staff involvement is letting your feedback group be large enough so that every ones opinion is counted but the group to come up with the core values to be smaller so as to avoid too much language on the edits.
- Coming up with catch phrases
- motivates all to work as a team
- For example, alone I walk faster together we walk further.
- This is what defines your work place making you unique.
Being unique is one way to develop an organizations core values. That is by coming up with your own catch phrases such as “alone I walk faster but together we walk further”. By this everyone will be working towards one goal and the core value would have found purpose (Hirsch, 2009).
