\"companyComing up with your company values may have taken several hours of thought, reflection, and discussion. This effort will have been wasted, though, if you stop there and fail to institute these values. So, how do bring your values into the day-to-day operations of your organization? How do you embody them and not just talk about them?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recognize employees when they exhibit those values.<\/b>
    \nWhen employees display company values in their work, tell them you noticed. Mention it in conversation, send them an email, or note your appreciation in team-wide or company-wide communications. Accolades motivate. By pointing out how individual employees live the values of the organization, you get everyone thinking about those values and thinking about what they can do to realize them in their work.<\/li>\n
  2. Include them in performance reviews.<\/b>
    \nIf you don\u2019t hold your employees accountable to the organization\u2019s values, then your values don\u2019t matter. They\u2019re just words. Signs on the page. Sound in the air. If you want your values to matter\u2014to mean something in the organization\u2014then you need to make following them a job requirement. Cover them in performance reviews<\/a>. \u00a0Go over with employees where you saw those values in their work and attitude\u2014and where you didn\u2019t see them.<\/li>\n
  3. Ask customers and clients to hold you accountable to them.
    \n<\/b>Are your customers given the option of taking a survey following your service to them? They should be. Ask them how well you exhibited your stated values. Ask them for specifics, and use what they tell you to evaluate your service. Share your findings with the team and get their insight on what changes could be made. Encourage them to be creative.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can\u2019t just make values happen. You can\u2019t just make them appear in peoples\u2019 work. But with these three steps, you can encourage employees to take ownership of the organization\u2019s values, making them real and making them matter.<\/p>\n
