Culture and Values Development
Culture is the character and personality of your organisation. This is what makes your business unique, what makes it thrive and in turn, sums up all of it’s core values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviours and attitudes. This is why a culture and values development strategy is really important.
Positive workplace culture attracts the right talent and not only drives engagement but impacts happiness and satisfaction, and affects performance overall. The personality of your business is influenced by a number of important issues. Leadership, management, workplace practices, policies and people will all impact culture significantly.
Your company values provide a sense of connection and clarity for your employees and can best be described as your internal “brand”. If you want to improve motivation within your team then the answer is found within the relationships of the team and its members.
Cultural factors have been shown time and time again to have a positive influence on the health and happiness of employees. This then influences a good work-life balance, a sense of control, positive and respectful relationships with peers, superiors and clients, a sense of fairness, a sense of fun and also access to support when needed.

Benefits of Culture and Values Development
The benefits of identifying your culture and values can mean a clearer identity for your business which will in turn, help attract and retain great talent. It will provide a more dedicated and committed workforce that want to work harder because employees can visibly live the values and be advocates to your customers.
This can be the basis of your on-boarding sessions and can be designed around your values whilst giving a framework to measure performance which then supports Line Managers in their varied roles. It enables employees together to create more cohesive teams and when implemented and embedded effectively can improve performance and employee engagement.
"An organisations culture is the product of its values, expectations and environment.”
