Core principles must be more than simply
words to inspire the appropriate habits in your company. If you can't translate
your values into actionable steps and examples, it can lead to a sense of inauthenticity,
which is worse for employee engagement than not having them at all
Make Your Values Visuals
Making essential values visible in the
workplace, such as in high-traffic places like reception, break rooms, and
conference rooms, helps to keep your beliefs and expectations in the forefront
of your mind.
Hire
(...or not) Based on Your Values
While experience and skills may be learned
on the job, values are more difficult to impart, and hiring the incorrect
person might cause more harm than good. Creating a list of questions to examine
a candidate's cultural fit with your company can help you avoid employing
someone who doesn't share your basic values. It's also a good idea to share
your ideals with the outside world in order to attract new talent. If you can
show that your company cares about its employees and that it is clear what is
expected of them, the appropriate candidates will be drawn to your company and
desire to remain longer.
Employee Training
To ensure that your core values are
remembered, set aside time to train your employees on what they mean and how
they translate into required behaviors. If you're teaching an existing staff on
freshly defined core values, consider incorporating training into personal
development sessions. This can assist them in connecting the values to their
current work performance, as well as provide an opportunity for growth and
self-improvement in accordance with the new ideals.
Consistently Communicate Values
At every opportunity, company leaders should communicate their
basic principles. Everyone will have a clear grasp of the behaviors that will
be rewarded by sharing anecdotes and constantly applauding individuals who live
by these values in every section of the organization. Equally important, any
contradicting behaviors displayed by employees should be addressed and
controlled appropriately.
Everyone in your company should be leading the way in promoting
your fundamental principles. Encourage employees to publicly question decisions
or behaviors that do not correspond with corporate values.
Recognize and Reward Values
Publicly praising employees who display your corporate
principles in their work can do more than just please that individual; it will
also serve as an example to other team members, encouraging them to follow
suit.
Core values indicate an exceptional degree
of excellence and service, particularly when found in a company's personnel,
and thus translate to the company's overall level of quality and service
delivered to clients. To build and foster a work environment where fundamental
values are...well...valued, specialized and directed recruiting and training
initiatives are critical.

To effectively promote these principles throughout your organization, you must include them into all of your employee-related procedures, from how and who you hire to what performance management systems you put in place, to the criteria for promotions and rewards, and even dismissal rules. Taking the time to evaluate how your core values are reflected in the day-to-day operations of your business can help employees understand what behaviors management is looking for and why it is critical to the overall success of your organization (White, 2020)
