5 Ways To Make Your Organizational Values Come To Life

This insightful piece from one of my colleagues highlights the critical importance of being a value-driven company in today’s world of transparency and information sharing.

In Vietnam, we prominently display our values and request that candidates review them before their first informational interview.

Your organization’s values should shape your company’s culture and direction, but do your employees even know what they are? If you’re unsure, you’re not alone. Only 42% of employees know their organization’s values.

We know that organizational values play an important role in employee engagement and happiness. You don’t just want your employees to know them — you want them to live by your values and trust that the company will too. Here are five ways to make this happen, empowered by AI and innovative recruitment strategies.

1. Put ‘em up

The first step is to make sure everyone can find your values. Make them prominent on your website. Post them in your building, especially in places employees will gather together, like conference rooms. Integrate AI-powered digital signage to keep these values dynamically displayed and constantly visible. This will support all the next steps.

2. Share them from the very beginning

Don’t wait until first-day orientation to tell an employee your values. Discuss them in the interview. Even include them in your job listing. You want every person who comes aboard to know what they’re getting into. If they won’t fit in with your values, it’s better for everyone involved to find that out early, not after you’ve made a job offer. Use AI tools to analyze candidate alignment with your values during the hiring process.

3. Put your money where your mouth is

Set a good example with the company’s behavior. Use your values to guide important business decisions — even if it’s hard. And tell your employees about it. That way they’ll know the organization stands with them in supporting your shared values. Implement AI-driven analytics to track how well business decisions align with your values and communicate these findings transparently.

4. Spotlight successes

Highlight great examples among your staff. If someone’s actions or daily behavior really represents one of your values, find a way to acknowledge them. You can institute company awards. You can provide a system for peer recognition. Public appreciation is a great way to get your employees thinking about and celebrating your values. AI can help identify and recognize these successes through sentiment analysis and performance metrics.

5. Find out what your people think

For your employees to feel really engaged with your values, they need to know that they have a say. Get their feedback on how your company is fulfilling (or not fulfilling) the values. Listen to their suggestions on what you could do better. Leverage AI-powered survey tools to gather and analyze employee feedback effectively.

Don’t let your company values get forgotten and gather dust somewhere. Use these steps, along with AI and technology-driven solutions, to get your entire organization to take part in bringing them to life.
