Show Objectives
Core values represent what you stand for as an organisation, it is part of your culture and your external brand type.  They function as a guide and provide people with an understanding of what is acceptable and what not. 

Whilst business owners often create the initial core values and live and breath them, it is important we ensure it trickles down the entire organization. 


Company Values/Core Values - Employee Perspective

1. I understand where the company wants to be in the future and I can envision myself a part of it - I understand the why
2. I understand what value we provide to whom (mission statement) and how my performance is part of it
3. I understand what is acceptable and unacceptable (values or operating principles) behavior in the treatment of customers and other employees

Company Values - Owner Perspective
